Hello Matthias,

Thank you for reviewing the patches!

I have based and tested these commits on Stephen Rothwell's
linux-next.git/master branch. It is possible that I made a mistake
by doing this.

Nevertheless, I have just verified that these patches cleanly apply to the
current version of Greg Kroah-Hartman's staging.git/staging-next branch, [1]
as well as Stephen Rothwell's linux-next.git/master branch. [2]

In my local repo, here are my remotes:

$ git remote -v | grep -E "staging|next" | grep "(fetch)$"
next    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git (fetch)
staging https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git (fetch)


I have just fetched both of these remotes.

$ git log -1 --oneline next/master
a68b04c773 Add linux-next specific files for 20150313

$ git log -1 --oneline staging/staging-next 
7aa5d5097d Staging: rtl8192u: Use __packed instead of __attribute__((packed))


And here are my two local branches with my commits applied:

# Output slightly edited to reduce line length.
$ git branch -vv | grep -E "staging|next"
* linux-next    c8ab62fb9c [next/master: ahead 16] staging: rtl8723au: Remove unneeded comments
  staging-next  63f451681e [staging/staging-next: ahead 16] staging: rtl8723au: Remove unneeded comments


I hope this clarifies my set-up. Is there something I am doing incorrectly?
If there is anything I can assist with, please let me know.

Thank you,

Vefa
