Hi Jason,

Do you have any update on the status for patches below?
Where is it now? When do you expect it to merge? 3.8?
I am waiting for this to merge before I can go on
with my driver.

Hi Luis,

Yes, I posted this patch, along with 2 others last week for Greg to
pull. I believe these are too late for the 3.8 merge window. Perhaps,
Greg can comment. Here's a link to the post:

Yes it's too late, these will go into linux-next after 3.8-rc1 is out.

thanks,

greg k-h

Vladimir, sorry about this.

I suggest you prefix/rename and include these functions directly into
your driver and later after 3.9 is out you could again rename the
local calls to the now generic kernel functions and delete the local
ones.

Your driver is for new hardware, so even now it should be able to
go into 3.8.

cheers, Joe
