    Sorry for leaving you out of CC. I used the list given by 
scripts/get_maintainer.pl and forgot for the moment that it's also a PTP 
driver. Perhaps there is a way to enhance that script for this particular case 
(I'm not into PERL myself)?

    Hmm, it's the first time I encounter such requirement.
    Not sure how you imagine that if Kimura-san was (mostly) the author of the 
Ethernet driver proper and Nagai-san was the author of the PTP code proper 
(they were 2 different drivers, not sure for what reason -- as the Ethernet 
driver proper failed to compile without PTP enabled for me). Adding them to 
CC: anyway...

    It is not, the *break* condition is different. I'll look into merging them 
though...

    Perhaps a workaround for an errata I don't know about. Nagai-san, could 
you maybe elaborate?

    Sure. I've spent over 3 weeks cleaning this stuff up, yet still it wasn't 
enough... :-/

    The prize goes to Nagai-san. :-)

    OK, thank you!

    So what? The lines containing the message strings have no limit on the 
length AFAIK, yet it seems to me the resulting message should fit into 80 columns.

    OK, should have probably added Nagai-san here...
