That's unfortunate, I'm a bit concerned about support for users picking up the kernel and using it to build products. Samuel, would you be OK with cherry picking the relevant commits to the Wolfson drivers back into .37? I'm especially concerned about WM8994 here - I'd really not like to see a kernel version go out where that doesn't work. > I haven't been following the progress in -next, but now that you've > pointed it out I'll give it a look.

Probably slightly more in that you can't just blindly add the dependency when you see the problem but yeah. -- 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/
