The patch overall looks good to me so here is my Reviewed-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chand...@imgtec.com> I do agree with James that it would be nice to have it in stable 4.0+ as well. I don't particularly care if STR() is going to be used at the end or we stick to __stringify. Both are used in arch/mips/* anyway -- markos -- 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/
