There were two small typos / enhancements as an outcome form that thread, one was a small a typo (extra parenthesis) as pointed out by Pavel Machek [0] and the other to add an extra "when" to as recommended by Aaron Wolf [1] on a email that only went to the copyleft-next mailing list. I've made the small typo corrections and will be shortly posting a v9 based on this. I've also dropped changing the license on firmware_class.c in favor or just using copyleft-next on new files. FWIW I had also posted two other new test drivers using this dual license as its the default license I'll be using for new material on my part, one is a dedicated sysctl test driver [2], and the other a kmod stress test driver [3]. Andrew has merged the sysctl test driver on his -mm tree.

These are merged now and visible on linux-next, thanks! Luis
