I mailed the author of the patch, including the git Id of that patch... but he didn't reply... and I didn't keep the mail :/ So, I am afraid I can't give much details. I'd still like to have it sorted out. If you give me the green light (in the sense that you are willing to help a kernel-newbie when needed) then I'll have another attempt at getting more information. -- Carlo Wood PS I believe it was you who committed the patch. - 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/
