Out of pure curiosity, where does '2012' come from or what does it
mean?
Thanks Vitaly for the review. Actually some of the code is derived from
hyperv_fb, which has copyright 2012. Not sure if I should remove here
or not?
I'm definitely not an expert (and couldn't quickly find a good
reference) here but I was under the impression that in such cases you
can just add a note like "based on 'hyperv_fb' driver" (if really
needed, if you just borrow a few things then it's even superfluous I
believe). Anyway, I was just a bit surprised to see '2012' in a new file
:-)
