Hello Sudip, This is a first for me, so thank you for the comments! Regarding not including the maintainers in the To: list of the e-mail, good point! In this case should I resend the patches after making sure that I include Greg Kroah-Hartman, Larry Finger and Jes Sorensen's e-mail addresses in the To: list? (get_maintainers.pl reports their names as the maintainers, and based on the commit history, they are the major contributors and/or gate-keepers to this staging driver.) Actually, my first name is Vefa, and the "M" is for my middle name, for which I only use an initial, as otherwise everyone ends up addressing me with my middle name. Now, the question would be: Why is my middle name placed before my first name? I realize this is quickly becoming off-topic for the mailing lists. If you would like to learn more, I can explain the reasons in a private discussion. Thanks again, Vefa -- 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/
