SubmittingPatches is no help > here. I only use RFC if I really mean "request for comments" and I have no intention of the patch ever being submitted. But I know many people don't read those, and as I said, I rarely do given the huge number of actual patches that people are submitting, unless I am really interested in the topic at hand (hint, on this specific thread, for a known working bit of code, I'm not.) Also, I'm not going to apply a RFC, as obviously the submitter doesn't want it applied, and still has doubts about it, so that's a good reason never to use it. thanks, greg k-h -- 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
