I have sent you another patch that I generated using the option '-M'. the option allows git-format-patch to detect renames which is what I intended to do. The patch is much smaller and readable.

Not sure why the earlier one did not work as it works for me. > > thanks, > > greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
