I don't see why it would be more difficult. Remember that the fact that I sent you three different patches is not relevant. The lm_sensors dmi_scan patch will be integrated to our source tree, so you won't have to care about it. Ditto for the mkpatch change. And the kernel patch will be integrated into mkpatch, so you won't have to apply it manually. This means that you won't have to take any different action. You will just use mkpatch to generate the patch, and apply it to the kernel tree. Remember that the issue doesn't affect the compilation outside of the kernel tree. So it looks quite easy and straightforward, providing I update the lm_sensors files as planned. Or did I miss a thing? -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
