The patch did change over time, but not that much, minor bugfixes for it. I didn't think to update the original date in the quilt file, sorry. It was in -mm for quite a while, so I thought it got a good enough testing period. I'll try to remember to update the timestamp on patches that get updated, it's a pretty rare thing for my patchflow, shouldn't be hard to remember. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
