Hello Uwe and Greg,

Since there is nothing wrong with the last version of the patch in
the above thread, I feel strange about picking it up and just splitting
it into two patches. However it would be good to have it applied.

I think the reason why the author didn't resend is that the object file
and data structure layout information in the changelog depend on the
changes to both .name and .dma_mask and by splitting the patch this
information would not apply to any one of the resulting two patches.

Perhaps keeping this information in the changelog is a good reason for
applying the patch as it is?

(I have attached the patch in question)

Best regards,

Emil Goode
