Doug, should that come to you through linux-rdma instead? >=20 > I sent an email to Greg K-H to ask that question. It doesn=E2=80=99t m= atter to me. If you want, send the email to this list and if I get a res= ponse from GKH that he wants to take it, I=E2=80=99ll just point him to i= t once he lands. I'll be sending these through to Linus (as agreed with Greg). However, the patches need a TODO file added to the driver directory when it is placed in the staging tree (that's a mandatory requirement of being in that tree). In this case, the TODO would just be to remove the driver as some point in time. That point it pretty arbitrary, but I would suggest removing the driver in the 4.6 merge window. --=20 Doug Ledford GPG KeyID: 0E572FDD --xgCMBJ9VUcP4tIacGmjdbNT03X5x2RMlg Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVuOMNAAoJELgmozMOVy/dGq0QAIPgLh7a6ObKrryO+AkLjiM0 rIds7LF66Y3KiUwib0URA0730tqzUjT6KbdQTi+mOltyAxKKH48hm4l6Qu0N8qJ5 QmxILSZxYf6mnfJ3C6dlBo1+ERJirPv563fhdld/Z51QaPB+2LFu3zQ+gxIYGoWh 9OCv3iHaGgq+AWzzenIrOXO4tqgUr00S9dxdJ3cMDuiB7FNQIgNAKkYU5+71BqcR gqPkckwACz3E9fQuGla+TL8Xlsdo2tAyRkpdrMuzE/oof6chwGwRLnKi5I8YWpC3 GPiPUGVnECWovzlflZbTzI1GoUeTw7sGajqzJ4yXkXp0/4CBLFPZ+t0bdoSQ/q8E aGYoaOAjm0heX2zGsb2iH+lsNxQZh2r80wdzCOPmWn0jUFcuBpTMy2QfjCZBS3t5 BqnpygiHYavRsLriqYTDlxGyhDBrLvPjVa8xnGWN8k9ec4xeuzjdQUDvbXAN+IMj /1PmtEv07uOJtbNkJhJXLGdUJMq0ZOzOXLXQ5L5y966au/VdosVXbbGNAMX9IKYW uP6JR+H1DkYHBuZauInFCAkSKu+3zbKzJrk8WGngZgefC2uXHOpuqeA76prJpr0j BhiQkGWyUam+0g65yMe3UpHOz7j/4xoSbzPtR/7ZNe6d47qK7aRwJK5LEXoFwNAS 0SSIE91QhFVvd33lNgd2 =vPGu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --xgCMBJ9VUcP4tIacGmjdbNT03X5x2RMlg-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
