Why do you say that?  It adds new device ids for devices to a driver,
which is find for stable.

I did.

I think it does qualify and I've been asking for feedback about this for
the past week to everyone on the signed-off-lines above with no real
objections :)

openSUSE had a user that requested this patch be added as they had
hardware that needed this patch to work properly on 2.6.25.  As it only
added device ids, I didn't see the problem with it.

Does it cause any problems that you can see?

thanks,
