Re: [PATCH 1/2] Alps HID I2C T4 device support

[Nikolaus Rath <Nikolaus@rath.org>]

Hi Masaki,

Could you be a little more specific about what you need? I don't like
executing scripts containing several instances of 'sudo rm -rf
[something]'.

It seems that the script is meant to install debugging versions of some
modules. Could you simply send me a patch against the official kernel
that includes your debugging code? I'm perfectly able to compile it and
load the modules on my own :-).

Thanks,
-Nikolaus
