No new code that's not sparse clean, please. I have to disagree -- remember how strongly Linus pushed to merge hardware drivers early? the code in question will not run unless you have the hardware it drives, and that hardware is useless without the code. And *something* is better for users than nothing. Anyway I don't think the endianness annotations are that hard so it will probably show up soon. - R. -- 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/
