So yes, sorry I haven't been able to get back quicker on the other patches sent, was mucking about in other work.

Do you still want feedback on the previous changes? thanks -john -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
