I'm fine by sending the changes for AVR32 through linux-mtd, they are minor and so far doesn't touch anything else that is changed. > OTOH, I think there will be a cleanup of AT91 platform, which would bring > lot's of conflicts with this patch, if it goes through linux-mtd. AT91 will probably be worse, yes, should be doable by git to solve the conflicts on its own. I'll leave it to Nicolas to give his verdict. -- Hans-Christian Egtvedt -- 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/
