SubjectRe: [PATCH] pnp: replace deprecated __check_region to request_region
From
Hi Adam,

I can understand your worry, but back to beginning, just as the
subject of the patch: "replace deprecated __check_region to
request_region", I think this patch is still need, although it can't
solve the problems both you guys mentioned. Do you agree it?
