[ Very shortly after sending out an email about how most developers probably don't end up reading much of lkml, and thus having missed all the other threads on this subject ] Everybody repeat after me: "After -rc2 I won't be taking patches or pull requests that aren't regression fixes or fixes to major bugs (oopses or security etc)". See the -rc2 announcement, or any of (by now) roughly ten different threads on lkml and a couple of other mailing lists as response to pull requests etc ;^) And yes, that very much does include new drivers. Especially if they end up affecting anything else (but in al honesty, I probably wouldn't take it now even if it was entirely standalone). Linus
