Hi Greg, Thanks for that information; we'll work on a series instead of individual ones, but, being new to this, we had a question. We'll be basing our patch series on Linux-Next which is a moving target. For instance, if we take a snapshot of it today and then spend the next few days preparing our patch series, it's likely that Linux-Next will have changed by the time we submit the series. There could be conflicts by then; although this must be a commonplace occurrence, but we're not sure how to handle it. I'm guessing we get another copy of Linux-Next when we're ready to submit and then do a quick check for conflicts, correct?

A series is good, I can apply them all at once, and you don't have to keep changing the version number of the driver for every single patch :) thanks, greg k-h ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{���)�� jg��� �����ݢj����G���� ���j:+v���w�m������w�������h�����٥
