Sorry, I thought linuxppc-dev was the right tree since the patch is
for
a ppc driver and you've carried previous nx driver submissions
upstream. 

I want to submit to the proper place, so what is your preference?

Well, that's the right place if you want me to merge it, which seems to
be what Marcelo is also expecting...

Please merge this patch, it fixes a hot bug.

You don't actually mention that anywhere in the changelog.

The description implies that it's probably a bug, but doesn't describe
the symptoms in any way - does it make it completely non-functional or
just break in certain corner cases.

And you make no mention of when this bug appeared, has it always been
there, or was it introduced by a particular commit? That's important
because it helps determine whether the patch should go into any of the
stable trees.
