So it is the standard procedure. I just wanted to make sure whether you wanted to have all the -stable patches funnelled through you. I will send the patch to -stable directly and Cc you as soon as it makes it into Linus' tree. By the way, I will be replying to this email with a follow-up patch that I forgot to send the last time around. It is just documentation for the quirk. Thanks, Fernando
