This rename only added more uncertainty for my pending patchset (which had been already dependant on at least TX4939 driver which keeps being recast by Atsushi and being stale in pata-2.6 series) as I can't predict when you and Linus will merge the changes and this is getting on my nerves, as I don't have time on any extra rework and I'm running out of time with the submission. I know I should have done this earlier and I'd have done this if its not for my unfortunate vacations... I aslso kept finding new issues looking on the IOC4 driver. :-/ > Thanks, > Bart > MBR. Sergei
