Should I send the 6 already submitted patchsets or should I submit all patches I have done so far? I guess you do just reviewing, greg k-h still applies them, right? I do not have the hardware, I do my patches, compile them and run them through checkpatch.pl, but I have no hardware to test. All my patches are just cleanup patches (line shortening, code simplifications, oursourcing of code chunks into functions and the like), I just got into kernel stuff (and I love doing it :-) ). -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Kind regards, Matthias Beyer Proudly sent with mutt. Happily signed with gnupg.
