But if you have a 2.6.23-rc9 tree at hand (as I do) it's IMHO easier to just pick git-hwmon.patch in Andrew's latest tree: http://www.eu.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.23-rc8/2.6.23-rc8-mm2/broken-out/git-hwmon-fixup.patch And apply it on top of your tree, and then add your own patches on top of that. -- Jean Delvare
