Or do you mean submission directly from a developer's git tree to stable via git pull by Greg? Is this been done? If yes, I suppose this comes only from people who know very well how a stable patch is meant to look like. Nevertheless I could send another adjustment for Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt if this is another actual submission path. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-=- -=-- ==--- http://arcgraph.de/sr/
