I've applied patch 2 here, can you redo the series again after fixing up the first one and include the v2 of patch 5 so it's easier for me to figure out what to really apply here? thanks, greg k-h
Hi Greg, > I've applied patch 2 here, can you redo the series again after fixing up > the first one and include the v2 of patch 5 so it's easier for me to > figure out what to really apply here? Sure thing. I'll base v2 on top of tty-next, so you'll end up with a 4-patch series, without the duplicate. Patches coming. Cheers, Jeremy
