Not since I originally posted it, and had other people use it to find bugs a few years ago. Since then it's virtually unchanged - the changes are basically introducing the config option rather than the fixed #define in the header file enabling it, and changing a pr_info() to a pr_debug(). The patch applied with just a few lines of offset too, and I did build test it before sending in both enabled and disabled states. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
