You'd like me to remove the IRQ handling entirely from this code as one patch, thereby breaking it, and then add the new IRQ handling as a separate patch? Are you sure? I really don't think so, and I suspect you haven't even read the patch. It's all _one_ issue, with two explainations of why the current code is wrong. So my reply is: unable to split patch. -- 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-omap" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
