Re: Lastest Patches

[Denys Dmytriyenko <denys@ti.com>]

Ouch, can we do a proper quoting on public mailing lists, please? I do realise 
I am top-posting here, but below looks like a one continuous blob of text to 
me. I even think if each of your replies had been top-posted, it would have 
looked much better than it is now... :) And "lastest", really? :)

Anyway, jokes aside, I'll try to reply to individual posts separately.
