That was due to the patches being created manually. This introduces a huge potential to add new bugs. However, this is an excellent task for coccinelle/spatch. So here's a series of patches, to convert the API usage, that were generated with spatch. This should keep the chances of breaking something as low as possible. This reduces the .ko size by about 6 kiB. The used semantic patches will be included in the patch headers. John, please queue these patches for the next feature release. -- Greetings, Michael.
