2.6.5 problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Mark,
I assume you are saying linux-2.4 and dmi_scan.  We
also have an issue with __exit.  An easy fix is to
define __exit in i2c.h.

I would opt to incorporate both corrections and release
2.6.6 after a quick system check across linux-2.2/2.4/2.5.

After this is completed, I would have time to incorporate
i2c-compat.h in CVS for 2.6.7, preserving linux-2.2
compatibility.  It seems there are lots of users
with linux-2.2 still.
