Ahh.. this is where the confusion came from. The initial version of the
patch was only posted to the sh list, Magnus asked for it to be reposted
to the spi list and I hadn't heard anything about it since then, so I
assumed the poster just disappeared and I just cleaned it up and applied
it by hand. Apparently it was reposted but the sh list was dropped, so I
never saw the updated version. If I had known that it had hit the SPI
list I would have followed up there, I'll be more careful next time now
that I know someone is paying attention :-)
