They were merged on 27th November, so they would've been in linux-next from about last Monday. Nishanth reported a failure on Friday, the last week day before the merge window opens. There's no time to try and fix this before the merge window, which is why I decided to drop it. They have already been dropped. They were dropped immediately after my message on Friday was sent. So they've not been in linux-next over this past weekend. We don't push known broken code in during the merge window. The merge window is the exact time when subtle bugs are likely to be introduced, and is the exact time that you want bisect to work. If we push known broken patches into the kernel during that period, we break the ability to use bisect to find problems, especially where it causes a platform to become unbootable. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
