[PATCH] psmouse info in 2.6.1-rc1

Hi there...
I don't really know if this is only in -rc1-mm1 but I suppose -rc1 is affected also.

The new changes in drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c make that we don't have
anymore to give to kernel  psmouse_proto=imps, but only proto=imps , so the
info about it is wrong... Please apply the patch:

It is psmouse.proto=imps if psmouse is built in the kernel and proto=imps
if psmouse is compiled as a module. I mentioned only the first form because
I assumed that most people have it built-in.

Generally with the module_param macros kernel parameters have a prefix
in form of "module_name." if module is built into the kernel.

Weird: I have it built in the kernel and need to do proto=imps and not
psmouse.proto=imps ...

Anyway, wasn't the patch (one of) made so that users would have to pass to the
kernel the same for both cases?

Hi there...

Somebody replied privatly to me about this patch, telling me to submit it
somewhere... But I mistakenly deleted it :-(

Could that person please send it to me again?

Thanks in advance,
Mind Booster Noori

Oh, i see it now... The -mm tree has one obsolete patch that screws up
psmouse module and drops the prefix.

Andrew,

could you please drop the psmouse-parameter-parsing-fix.patch from your
tree as with Vojtech's blessing we are now going into other direction
(modulename.option=value for built-in components and option=value for
modules).
