Besides comments you got already, keep in mind that patch numbering starts from 1, 0 is a special dedicated value for cover letter which you apparently miss. Of course, in case of this "series" you are not supposed to make it as a series. And one more time, it's a contributor's responsibility to test (*) changes before sending _by default _. *) sometimes compilation test is enough, though most of the times the real run would be required. As per change 0 to 0444 for the cases you did, you obviously didn't read the code and thus may not understand the ABI of this module. So, obvious NAK for this patch. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ ibm-acpi-devel mailing list ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ibm-acpi-devel
