Ohad's message to which you replied had: To: linux-omap at vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org, linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org Cc: Ohad Ben-Cohen , Hari Kanigeri , Benoit Cousson , Tony Lindgren , Greg KH , Grant Likely , akpm at linux-foundation.org, Suman Anna Yours has: To: Ohad Ben-Cohen Cc: Hari Kanigeri , Benoit Cousson , Tony Lindgren , Greg KH , linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org, Grant Likely , mattw at codeaurora.org, akpm at linux-foundation.org, Suman Anna , mattw at codeaurora.orgmattw, linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org which includes an invalid address "mattw at codeaurora.orgmattw". Is there a reason why you're excluding the linux-omap list from your message and subsequent discussion?
