I am not sure about 'stand-alone'. this patch has to have dependency on previous patch.. I am not sure how to make a series of patches that are related with others. In this series of patches, 1/3 was failed to merge because changelog entry was missing. So other patches(2/3, 3/3) was breaking working codes. I will resend this patch with previous and check more before sending these patches. Sorry for the noise.. And I have a question not related this thread, I had been waiting my patches merged and also have other patches on same file(in case of dgnc). I couldn't send next patches until previous patches are taken. How can I manage my patches for this case? thanks. regards, Daeseok. > > thanks, > > greg k-h
