It is the first since that series of patches was added to the driver-core tree yesterday, but I have only built for powerpc and x86_64 so far. The patch had a CC for Paul Mackerras but not for the list associated with the PowerPC archiecture (in MAINTAINERS - linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org). Some maintainers are very busy and cannot (or don't) test every single patch sent to them but the patches would probably would receive more attention if CC'd to the associated list. [I am on the particular list and didn't see that patch posted.] [And the Acked-by: Geoff Levand would really only cover the ps3 part of the patch.] In any case, I assume it will be fixed tomorrow in Greg's tree. --=20 Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ --Signature=_Wed__19_Nov_2008_13_22_14_+1100_8Rb6TbXtFkKf+hov Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkkjeFYACgkQjjKRsyhoI8wK5gCeMOQ+Vj0QWaRO5XevUVx/t7n2 ZNEAoJKjIMGCI6A51JcH3gSaOqoUggZ4 =8uS0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Wed__19_Nov_2008_13_22_14_+1100_8Rb6TbXtFkKf+hov--
