The patches are against linux-next, compile-tested only since I > don't have the hardware, I'm working through these now, but a few general issues: - It'd be very much easier to review patches that do one thing at once, especially when the patches do things more invasive than just adding annotations or changing types. The random cleanup stuff makes the invasive changes much harder to see and review. - Frequently your patches include additional changes above those that you list in the changelog which again increases the effort require to reviwe - things like random whitespace changes and the addition of module annotations seem particularly prone to this. - Please always use a subject line for your patches which fits the style of the subsystem. You're using "Regulators:" as a prefix when pretty much everything else uses "regulator:". -- 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/
