No, it's ok to do "driver stuff" like this after Oct. 20 or Oct 31. It's big core kernel features (like LSM, aio, and others) that are not allowed after that date. I think you can grab the -bk patches from kernel.org if you want to see the latest driver merge, or you can wait a few days and get the next release. Either one is fine with me. Thanks again for working together, I appreciate it. greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
