Why is this being submitted to staging? What is wrong with the "real" part of the kernel for this? Your TODO file is really vague, and doesn't give anyone any real things to work on with you, which is odd. > Signed-off-by: Jack Ping CHNG > Signed-off-by: Amireddy Mallikarjuna reddy There is a group of people within Intel that you have to get code reviewed by before you can send it to me. Please go by that process and not try to circumvent it by dumping it on staging without that review. It is there for good reasons. greg k-h
