Hi Greg,

My patches were based on 2.6.37-rc5 and I was not aware that format-patch 
needed the -M flag to properly show rename/move operations. I will look into 
these patch series and resubmit this and subsequent patches. Sorry for the 
inconvenience.

Gr. AvS

Again, with git it would have been easier to see what is going on
here...

Anyway, this patch breaks the build with the following errors:
  CC [M]  drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/sys/wlc_ampdu.o
drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/sys/wlc_ampdu.c:24:22: fatal error: 
sbhndpio.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[4]: *** [drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/sys/wlc_ampdu.o] Error 1
make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/sys/wlc_alloc.c:28:22: fatal error: 
sbhndpio.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[4]: *** [drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/sys/wlc_alloc.o] Error 1
drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/sys/wl_mac80211.c:37:22: fatal error: 
sbhndpio.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

So I'm going to not apply this patch series, as this is not acceptable,
sorry.

Please test things better in the future, remember you can not break the
build at _any_ point in your patch series.

thanks,

greg k-h
