Then how do you propose we solve the problem? For example, how about a declaration: that if somebody is working on a driver (in this case) and has actually presented a (possibly not yet mergeable) patch, then versions of this code from other people will not be accepted at the same time instead. Please note that I don't mean abandoned code, I mean a code which simply needs some work and thus a bit of time. Those other people can always apply their changes once the original code is accepted, right? And the changes may get a chance to be examined :-) Or is it too much? > That's said, on a very quick check, it sounds that this driver requires > some work.

I will obviously update this when I'm back from vacation. Thanks. --=20 Krzysztof Ha=C5=82asa Sie=C4=87 Badawcza =C5=81ukasiewicz Przemys=C5=82owy Instytut Automatyki i Pomiar=C3=B3w PIAP Al.
