I currently don't have anything queued for 3.8, and this particular patch doesn't justify a separate pull request. Once it's in Linus' tree, it can be easily pushed out to all existing -stable branches (including 3.8-stable, once it's created). If I am gfoing to be sending pull request for 3.8 to Linus still due to some important bugfix, I will be including this. > If possible, I would like to get it backported to 3.7-stable (and > possibly 3.2 stable), since without it a whole family of Sony desktop > computers is unusable under Linux out of the box. Should I do it myself > or do you have a process in place for HID stable patches? If the patch had Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in it, it'd be picked for -stable queue automatically. Otherwise, anyone is free to take it once it's in Linus' tree and sent to to stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for inclusion.
