If you don't object an ack would be nice too :) OK, I have a question on the backlight ones. 3.16 has some backlight rework in the ACPI layer to deal with the Windows2012 issue, which I believe fixes several models of laptops. You got a number of quirk patches into 3.15 already that won't be in 3.16 because of that rework (if I understood the situation correctly). So are these backlight patches additional quirks that were simply developed too late to get into 3.15, or are they backports of stuff in queued for 3.16? If the latter, wouldn't they depend on that aforementioned rework? If not, are you going to attempt to get them into 3.15 stable? josh _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
