Why you are forcing me to do what I don't want? I downloaded source code from kernel.org made some changes and now submitting patches. I mustn't show you all my changes. From your logic you must make nvidia's private downstream kernel public. Notice, I didn't told you that we distribute binaries from *that* repo to anyone. Oh, my... How to explain.. *it's my personal work I'm doing for myself*. So again, if you don't want accept my patches anymore for some reason, tell me and we won't waste our time anymore. I just wanted to help a bit and have feeling that you misunderstands me... My english is not ideal, so maybe it's the source of it.
