Please drop this patch series. Re-submitting with patch 16 removed.

This action was taken because the subject line of the patch series
would change. Based on the guess that if the patch cover-letter
subject line changes it is a different patch series. If this is wrong
please correct me for future path sets. In other words, which is
correct

(1) Two *different* path sets
[PATCH 00/25] staging: ks7010: checkpatch clean up
[PATCH 00/24] staging: ks7010: checkpatch clean up

(2) Two versions with different number of patches in each
[PATCH 00/25] staging: ks7010: checkpatch clean up
[PATCH v2 00/24] staging: ks7010: checkpatch clean up


I chose action (1) because it seems cleaner/clearer.

thanks,
Tobin.
