I do however see that he has sent other messages to other people, so I don't believe that he is offline. At this point I am beginning to wonder if he is receiving my messages at all. I can't imagine that I did anything offensive; perhaps a well-meaning junk mail rule just doesn't like me for some reason. James, would you be willing to apply any of these patches without an explicit ack from Matthew (the sym53c8xx maintainer)? And could someone else please try contacting Matthew to see what's up? Side note: I have been operating under the assumption that patches against a driver should be acked by the maintainer of that driver before being merged. If that is not the case, then Matthew's reply isn't really that important, and I apologize for nagging.
