If it fixes a problem which lives outside of net-next, it should target "net", not "net-next". "new version" does not help when a commit log can be read at any time and/or when people try to identify patches for -stable branches. You do not say which kernel / chipsets combination are known to exhibit the problem. Fundamentally, nobody can tell from the description if it is a kernel or hardware problem nor why things work better after the change. -- Ueimor -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
