PATCH 2 makes it possible to build the drivers at the same time, but
I have to change that as it uses symbolic links iso include.

Ok. This means you want me to split and resubmit this patch?

Yes please.  Actually resend the whole series, as I had comments on most
of them, right?


For the first patch your reply contained the question whether it should
be in the final .38 release. We are getting confused over here about the
distribution of patches in branches/repositories within the community so
could you elaborate a little and answer my questions below.

1. From the various response I see following submit possibilities:
	- staging-next	-> patch to you (ie. gregkh@xxxxxxx)
	- staging-linus	-> patch to you (ie. gregkh@xxxxxxx)
	- linus tree      -> ??
	- stable			-> patch to stable@xxxxxxxxxx
	- final .38	-> ??
2. For the last three targets it is unclear what repo/branch we need to use
   to create our patch upon.
3. For the stable tree it suggest to add Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx and add
   the upstream (linus tree) commit id. Is this something you will add
   when we request it to be applied to those trees or does it require
   a separate patch email sent by us?

thanks,

greg k-h


Hope you can eradicate our confusion.
