I said already yes for the change so can I've the Acked-by for this - udelay: delay between GPIO operations (may depend on each platform) - i2c-algo-bit,timeout-milliseconds: timeout to get data (ms) Best Regards, J. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
