The best solution would be for those patches to be removed from whichever tree they are, otherwise there will always be a commit in the mainline kernel with that binding and, even if unlikely, there will always be the possibility of people using that commit or a developer having to bisect an issue only to find a few commits where things don't even build. -- balbi -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
