If Samsung is going to continue to keep its internal tree for this driver, there's no way we can take a code dump today and expect things to keep in sync. If Samsung agrees to do development of this codebase upstream in the kernel tree, I will be glad to consider moving to this codebase instead and working together on it. Otherwise it makes no sense as things instantly diverge with no way of keeping in sync (we only can commit to one tree, while you can in both.) If Samsung wishes to use their sdfat codebase as the "seed" to work from for this, please submit a patch adding the latest version to the kernel tree and we can compare and work from there. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
