Hi!
any updates ? Are we letting this into .32 in current broken state?

Thanks!

Can someone please repost the patch to netdev?  I don't have a copy
handy and I'd like to see it tracked properly patchwork too.  If it's
in patchwork, it won't get lost.

Thanks.

Thank you.

[PATCH] pxaficp-ir - remove incorrect net_device_ops

[Marek Vasut]

This patch fixes broken pxaficp-ir. The problem was in incorrect
net_device_ops being specified which prevented the driver from
operating. The symptoms were:
 - failing ifconfig for IrLAN, resulting in
	SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
 - irattach working for IrCOMM, but the port stayed disabled

Moreover this patch corrects missing sysfs device link.
