An alternative way around the issue is to keep a separate patch outside of mainline which patches the additional code and data into the driver. That's far less maintainable, and leads to additional problems. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
