Yes it is, that's a really old version of gcc.  Also please wrap your
email lines at 72 columns :)

thanks Greg for your patience and time to redo this patch. I saw you broke it 
into two - three different patches.
But just one doubt, was your compiler showing any warning for the patch - 
"Staging: sm750fb: provide error path for
 hw_sm750le_setBLANK()" , commit id - e74ac550298ec4635cc32e99f966568a808fd370 
. my compiler didnot show any warning for that.
mine is gcc 4.7.3, is it time to update?

thanks again, and sorry that you had to do fix this. I should have made the 
patches in a more proper way.

Oops, sorry, it is the correct cleanup, I was looking at the '*'
placement, not the const part.

That's a nice cleanup, but it's not even the correct cleanup.

Please just fix the specific warning, don't mix what you are doing in
one patch.  You aren't documenting this in the changelog information, so
I have to reject it, sorry.

That's a nice cleanup, but it's not even the correct cleanup.

Please just fix the specific warning, don't mix what you are doing in
one patch.  You aren't documenting this in the changelog information, so
I have to reject it, sorry.

Oops, sorry, it is the correct cleanup, I was looking at the '*'
placement, not the const part.

but the patch needs to be redone, I'll just go fix up the build warnings
for now...
