We use Fixes: as a signal from maintainers and developers that do not normally use the cc: stable@ as documented to pick up things that look like fixes but someone forgot to ask to be backported. It's not a guarantee it will be backported, like cc: stable will be, but it is a hint to us that maybe it should be looked at. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
