As merging my patch with Andy's work is just a matter of moving code around, not actually changing it, personally I don't feel this patch should be somehow linked to the WMI rework. Andy, please let me know if you disagree, I don't really have any strong feelings about this. -- Best regards, Michał Kępień -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
