The hint is that (a) it's a bug fix, (b) it says "fix" in the title, and (c) it has the stable attributation which says "apply me to previous kernels". Daniel's response effectively says "no, we're not going to accept the patch, work on a fix with some development code." So, unless someone wants to tell me that it's acceptable to develop bug fixes against Linus' tree _for_ Linus' tree and accept this patch, or show some other solution that can be applied to Linus' current tree and backported to stable trees, I'm just not going to bother in future - someone else can end up doing the work. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 8.8Mbps down 630kbps up According to speedtest.net: 8.21Mbps down 510kbps up _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
