First you add in the forked device init, put in a big chunk of code and then in the *same* patch set delete it again. It's not like we're dying to see all the development history... can this be squashed down a bit? ... hence leave the patch-set as it is? -- Lee Jones Linaro ST-Ericsson Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
