Please, fix your email client to wrap lines at a sane place...

If the problem is due to another change in a different tree, send me the
patch and I'll hold on to it until the mmc tree is merged with Linus
(during the .37 merge window) and then I'll apply it and push it out.

Until then, we can ask Stephen to hold the patch in linux-next to fix
the build issue.

But I'd still like the .h file fixup patch to be resolved and in my tree
first, right?

thanks,
