In the specific case of this patch, it modifies only avr32-specific header files, so I don't quite see why it needs to be named .patch.avr32 instead of just .patch. Especially since anyway 0.9.31 can only be enabled for the AVR32 architecture. Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
