Ideally with Acked-by from Lee. We have more patches to come, and we will just stack them on top in net-next. The majority of those patches are for network drivers, not the LED subsystem. If there are going to be any merge conflicts, they will be to the core LED header files. And such conflicts should be simple to resolve in linux-next. If anybody else starts hacking on ledtrig-netdev.c then we have problems, especially if it is an LED wide change. I don't know how easy it is to create a stable branch from net-next, which could be pulled into led-next, without it actually pulling in a huge number of networking patches? Lee? Andrew
