Thanks Andrew.
Last time I tried to send the module rename series we got confused some how, patches not seen leading to conflicts in applying later patches IIRC, which lead to the recommendation I send them to linux-next.
The series has grown a bit too now but I'm thinking I should send them in smaller groups, such as coding style fixes and white space fixes, change to use pr* logging, etc.
Hopefully that will make the process much more straight forward.
The thing is the patches are mostly not urgent which is why I keep postponing sending them when higher priority things come up.
As for the patch from Stanislav, I'll put that at the top of my patch queue, have a quick look at it and send it over so that, hopefully, it can get merged.
I'll probably send a couple of others too to get things going on with (what I'm calling) the module rename series.
Ian
