I'm hesitating to add put_device(dev) to i2c_put_adapter() etc. in this series though. After development and testing I would like to send another preceding independent change updating i2c_get_adapter(), i2c_put_adapter() and clients (or if you wish you can do it), then I'll rebase 01/10 on top of it, the rest most probably is unchanged. -- With best wishes, Vladimir _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
