Hi Kay,

It is the first since that series of patches was added to the
driver-core tree yesterday, but I have only built for powerpc and x86_64
so far.

The patch had a CC for Paul Mackerras but not for the list associated
with the PowerPC archiecture (in MAINTAINERS - linuxppc-dev@xxxxxxxxxx).
Some maintainers are very busy and cannot (or don't) test every single
patch sent to them but the patches would probably would receive more
attention if CC'd to the associated list.  [I am on the particular list
and didn't see that patch posted.]

[And the Acked-by: Geoff Levand would really only cover the ps3 part of
the patch.]

In any case, I assume it will be fixed tomorrow in Greg's tree.
