I thought everyone used the develop against linux-next and backport the fixes model. Are we going to try merge these in 3.4? It will still spend some time in linux-next before we submit it, right? To be honest, I mostly am familiar with staging/ where driver wide white space cleanups are the norm. Working against linux-next is the only option for us or otherwise the conflicts would be too much. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
