weird, when i save or export this patch from alpine, it wraps the long lines, causing the patch to get corrupted. eg. pr_info(PREFIX "GPE = 0x%lx, I/O: command/status = 0x%lx, data = 0x%lx\n", becomes: pr_info(PREFIX "GPE = 0x%lx, I/O: command/status = 0x%lx, data = 0x%lx\n", i've never run into this before...
