I currently have a patch series awaiting the final ok which includes fixes for these warnings (http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1503.1/02535.html), apologies but assuming there isn't something hideously wrong with my series I suspect they supersedes this patch :(
Sorry about that, I did pull from linux-next and I am crealy not subscribed to the right mailing list.
It's really easy to accidentally submit a patch that has already been covered elsewhere; I, as a rather new kernel contributor, always find I have to search quite a bit to be *sure* that it's not been covered already.
I miss something like the properly maintained patchwork on linux-media. It works really well to see what is on the pipeline. I honestly never thought that somebody will take a look to this driver :)
Additionally, your subject line is 'staging/sm75fb: Declare static functions as such' which ought to be 'staging: sm750fb: Declare static functions as such' - there's a typo in the device name and I think the convention is always to use colons in subject lines.
About the typo, you are right of course :) Regarding the colon, there is no convention about that, every subsystem has its own preference. I prefer / than : I agree that is your patch that should be pulled, not this one. But I think you should split your patch in one patch per file.
