Of course there's room for some more prettification, but I think that would better fit as improvements to pandoc. One example is more flexible table handling with row/column spanning - currently pandoc doesn't handle that in the docbook converter. > I expect I'll apply the struct-args doc patch in the fairly near future. > Then we'll see if others complain when patches using it start to show up, > but the feature itself shouldn't break anything.

Missing 4.3 wouldn't be a big deal for i915 really since drm feature freeze should happen around -rc5 anyway, so everything new I pull in will be for 4.4 only. But getting it in early always helps, just in case there's something unexpected. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch -- 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/
