Unfortunately that's not entirely possible because you need at least one patch that touches both lpc_ich and iTCO_wdt when you make the transition from 'lpc_ich_info' to 'iTCO_wdt_platform_data'. And it's not like this patch series can be split up and taken through separate maintainer trees anyway. It all really needs to go through one tree (whichever one that may be). -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
