It's not a wrong thing to submit patches that you can't test, but in this case the irq save/restores make me nervous. I can't see that they served any purpose and it's certainly not unheard of for staging code to do pointless things for unexplainable reasons. But on the other hand, I would feel a lot more comfortable if this change were tested or if there were more comments about how the change is safe. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
