I understand now. I missed the connection between these drivers and the Kbuild change when I read this last night. Sorry about that. I can send the changes to those four files, but since I can't guarantee they will be merged quickly (or at all!) - that will leave the commit in the Kbuild tree causing build regressions for days or likely even weeks. > So, I will do something for them > if you do not have a plan to send patches soon. I will be happy to send them, but we just opened the two week merge window, and a lot of maintainers don't like getting sent new patches until the two week merge window has closed - so we should avoid that. I'm not sure how you would like to proceed - one way would be that we get the drivers above changed in 5.2 and you delay your kbuild change until we start v5.3 - to that end I'd be happy to add the Kbuild change to my internal build testing in the meantime, if you would like. Now that I understand the problem, let me know what you would like to do, and I'll do what I can to help out. Thanks, Paul.
