I am OK with either approach as long as a decision can be made quickly by maintainers. Right now lot of back and forth has happened and 3 different versions of the same thing have been posted since January. Since this is such a trivial change, it doesn't make sense to spend so much time on it IMO.... The sad part is though this change is trivial, other drivers such as MMC are broken and cannot be enabled due to this. We cannot afford to leave them broken. If Vinod is not available, can Dan please respond on how to proceed on this? We really need this trivial change to go into this -rc cycle and not delay it by another kernel release.
