[PATCH 3.16 0/7] Backort firmware monitor to 3.16

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

 



This patch series allows to use the firmware debugging features
of iwlwifi on 3.16. These features are already in 3.17.

I know that this patch series is not compliant with Greg's
rules for stable patches. It is unlikely that these patches
will be applied on vanilla 3.16 - I know that.
I send them here so that distros can apply them if they want
to.
I know there are distros shipping 3.16, and having these
patches in can greatly help our ability to debug nasty
issues.
