Look, I'm a maintainer!!!1" patches. ;-) I already have my name in the MAINTAINERS file, so that is not a cookie to cry for. Personnaly I will prefer Joe Perches or Dan Carpenter to be the maintainer. They have reviewed many of my patches since I started contributing here and I have learnt and still learning many things from them. if this patch is a debatable topic, then lets drop it. I have written these changes, and will write the next changes also, it doesnot matter if my name is there in the MAINTAINERS or not. The main reason I gave this patch is just because if any problem (read as regression) arises due to these changes then those problem mails would have directly come to my inbox. regards sudip > > Thanks, > //richard _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
