The code is provided in the best effort manner and it most likely will be underrated (like all ATA/IDE work is) anyway so I do not really care that much if it will be merged ever. Once it will be merged it may only mean more unpaid support time for me since some maintainers are not doing any real maintenance work these days.. Please at least respect some of my time spent on all this burdensome silly little driver differences comparisons and read the whole patch set before making comments on individual changes (which you certainly haven't done given timing of your review mails and complexity of changes).. -- 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/
