Re: [PATCH 4/4] PCI: quirk Atheros AR93xx to avoid bus reset

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Bjorn,

I'm running this patch and the corresponding "[PATCH 3/4] PCI: Allow
device quirks to exclude bus reset" patch meanwhile since a month w/
kernel 3.14.x and couldn't find any problem. Would it be possible to
apply these patches to main kernel? Or even to lt-kernel 3.14?


Thanks.
kind regards,
Andreas Hartmann
