Considering it is a simple one-liner in spi-bcm63xx and that you don't want to propagate a framework-level change back to -stable (which makes sense), don't you want to pick that one? At least two other users told me about this bug in private conversations. -- Florian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
