I am not the maintainer, but please, go ahead an push your fix. I do not
have time to test it myself and it does not look like anyone else in the
small mtd community does.
Grr. I told people that patch wasn't tested. I hadn't even *compiled*
it. It has a typo ("inlint" instead of "inline" - so close).

Sasha said he had tested it, but nobody even mentioned this thing. Now
I'm nervous. I had committed it in my tree and was just about to push
it out when I decided that I should at least compile it despite the
"tested-by".

Hmm? Now I really *really* want to know that it's been tested on
actual hardware too. Sasha, what patch did you actually test? Did you
just fix the "inlint" thing, or was there something else entirely?
I've just fixed the inlint thing since it was pretty trivial, I didn't bother commenting on it since I figured it would turn into
an actual patch from someone who could test it on actual hardware first.

Note that I've tested it on a KVM guest, and not on real hardware - so I'm not sure how much of a test that is.


Thanks,
Sasha
