Hey, Adrian isn't an MTD developer - give him a break.

If you, an MTD maintainer, can tell him what we _should_ be doing, I'm sure Adrian would help. - 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/
