Grant, what in hell makes you believe that this patch was ok to
merge upstream without even my Ack ?
Yes, I told you I agree with the -principle-, but I also need to -test-
and review it properly which I haven't had a chance to do (and it does
break G5s at least it seems from the reports we are getting). In any
case this is clearly -NOT- within the boundaries of your devicetree
"tree" and should have gone through powerpc-next.
Sorry Ben, I did not intend to merge that patch. =A0Quite simply I
accidentally included it in my devicetree/next branch when I pushed
out a bunch of other PCI related patches in February, and I overlooked
that it was still in there when I sent Linus the pull request. =A0It was
a complete failure on my part. =A0I apologize and submit myself for the
required flogging.
A flogging schedule will be posted on the bulletin board in the lunch
room. Sorry for the trouble.
