Hi Kirill, I'll leave others to comment on the actual contents of the patch, but you've made a couple of rookie mistakes in submitting this patch. Firstly, make sure you put [PATCH] at the start of the subject of the patch as it makes it easier for people to spot patches as opposed to general discussion.

You must have a line at the bottom of your patch summary like the following: Signed-off-by: J Random Developer <jrdeveloper@xxxxxxxxxxx> Thanks, -- Julian Calaby Email: julian.calaby@xxxxxxxxx Profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/julian.calaby/ .Plan: http://sites.google.com/site/juliancalaby/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
