Vasiliy,

First, thanks for contributing your fixes to the list.

In the future, please be sure to specify which kernel these patches
apply to.  Patches to this list are generally for the DaVinci git
kernel.  If they are not against git, but still may be of use to
others (like your patches are), please be sure to say that in the
description.

Second, your patches are not usable in the form they have been sent.
They were not properly generated, and your mailer seems to have also
done line wrapping which makes them not usable for others.

The file Documentation/SubmittingPatches in the linux kernel sources
gives good guidance on how to submit patches.

Thanks,

Kevin
