Subject: [PATCH] pl25a1_support

Adds support for 'Windows Easy Transfer' cables based around the
Prolific PL-25A1 chip (includes Belkin F5U258 & F5U279)

Patch originally suggested by David Brownell here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg61926.html

Modified to work with latest kernel, tested with F5U279.

Poor indentation here in the status assignment, there should be
only a single TAB character before "status =".

Also, declare the local variable at the beginning of the function,
before the function, not after it. And get rid of that tab between
"int" and "status, like this:

int status;

/* some units seem to need this reset, others reject it utterly.
* FIXME be more like "naplink" or windows drivers.
*/

This line is indented with spaces ISO tab.

Also, the above change doesn't seem to be related to the declared purpose
of the patch, so seems to be a matter of another patch...

Likewise, the whitespace fixes should be a matgter of a separate patch...

Subject: Re: [PatchV2 : PL25A1 Support - 1/3] whitespace


There are some problems with this patch series:

1) Please compose your subject lines more correctly. When I such these
patches into GIT, everything in the initial "[]" brackets is removed
and the commit header line for this patch (for example) ends up being
just "whitespace".

We want more than that.

Try something like:

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] usb: plusb: Whitespace.
Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] usb: plusb: Add PL25A1 support.
Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] usb: plusb: Add reset debugging.

2) Patch 2 doesn't apply cleanly to the current tree, you'll need to
refresh these patches.

Thanks.
