Happy New year everyone :-) Firstly, thanks for Russell and Mark. Hmm... I thought it's very simple, but it is not. Because needs some peoples' another work :-( Anyway, so I decided that will drop/change some commits which occur conflict between sound tree and build error in my tree. Already discussed about that with Jassi and he agreed. Then if possible, will send remained small stuff to Linus during -rc. Thank you so much again ;-) Best regards, Kgene. -- Kukjin Kim <kgene.kim@xxxxxxxxxxx>, Senior Engineer, SW Solution Development Team, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
