Don't worry too much. I think your patches are basically fine. I'm a fairly experience kernel dev but I don't know what an N/M patch is... Just don't work on staging/rtl* any more. The rest of staging is fine. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
