I am under the impression that, given the current implementation, both patches can be committed separately, so each would go upstream through its own tree? If this is the case, then I guess Guenter expects me to pick the it87 part in my hwmon tree? If you prefer to take it in yours, I don't mind, I don't have any pending change to the it87 driver. -- Jean Delvare -- 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/
