We are facing problems while we prepare patch for firmware as we add new stuff at the end. As per David Woodhouse suggestion, I arranged WHENCE to alphabetical order by driver name to avoid conflicts. I also send patch on 21 Dec 2008 with ack of David Woodhouse to linus and waiting from his side. [PATCH] firmware: Arrange WHENCE in alphabetical order to avoid conflicts I think this will resolve very soon, once we update WHENCE in alphabetical order, If you better suggestions, please let me know.
