So, do you want me to take this through my "driver" tree to get to Linus for 3.5, or do you want it to go through somewhere else? If somewhere else, that's fine with me, consider this an: Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> If you want me to take it, just let me know, whichever you prefer is fine with me. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
