OK, then whatever tree contains them needs to eject them or be dropped from linux-next. > So I am curious that should I resend these patches based on which git tree. Yes please. For me it would be against scsi-misc ... for the other drivers it would be their development tree. The simplest thing to do is probably to rebase them all on top of linux-next (which contains all of our trees) and then send them to the individual subsystem maintainer lists. James
