I know, but there was little choice. The error paths for device 
recovery depend on those changes. That's why I suggest posting 
through gregkh's tree once you guys give your approval. Then after
it goes into the first merge window and it permeates to your tree,
I'll rebase the linux-wimax tree to have you as upstream.

Oh, good point. Will do.

I'll send updated patches today.
