Greg, has this one been queued to > your drivers-core tree ? Should it go on -rc or now it's already too > late and going on merge window ? It's been in my drivers-core tree for a while, and I didn't think it was needed for 3.1, as it didn't solve an existing bug, did it? It's queued for 3.2, does it need to get into 3.1-stable? If so, I can do that. thanks, greg k-h
