Sure. > It's as simple as sending a mail to Greg once it's upstream. I already though about how to tag every patch I send as Cc: stable, because almost any fix I send either goes through some -next or even -next-next or already is for some stable kernel. (I usually don't even look at -rc kernels, just for some special things I'm waiting for, like this of-gpio for davinci.) Regards, Alexander Holler
