He's gotten in contact with me a few times recently. I am fine with both ways for this patch as it is only related to Freescale register details. But in general I think patches should go through functional subsystem, as they usually would need insight of the subsystem architecture. I prefer the way that the patch acked or signed-off by Freescale guys and push upstream through Dan's tree as most other subsystems did. Unless Dan prefers to ack the subsystem architectural part of each patch and have them pushed other way. - Leo -- 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/
