It does not apply, again.

And again, here is the bundle I tried to apply using "git am --signoff":

	http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/bundle-641.mbox

davem@sunset:~/src/GIT/net-next-2.6$ git am --signoff bundle-641.mbox

When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am --skip".
To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am --abort".

Did you try the bundle I posted yesterday which failed?  This
one is identical, you didn't change anything.

This is getting rediculious.

Try again, and when you do take the patches from patchwork at:

	http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/

and you try to apply them to net-next-2.6 using git (_not_ 'patch',
'patch' is way too lenient about fuzz and line offsets) so that you
can see what's happening.

I'm completely ignoring your patch postings until you sort this out.

You cannot have line offsets or fuzz when you send patches that are to
be applied by GIT, and that is the problem with patch #4:

davem@sunset:~/src/GIT/net-next-2.6$ patch -p1 <diff
patching file drivers/net/fsl_pq_mdio.c
Hunk #6 succeeded at 436 with fuzz 1.
patching file drivers/net/fsl_pq_mdio.h

GIT does not allow line fuzz, you must make absolutely pristine
patches, and therefore if you are testing your submission with just
'patch' that absolutely will not work.

Thanks.
