Well, that's why I asked. You sent 2 patches out over a month ago that don't appear to have shown up in any Linus or PowerPC tree. >They will be to linux-tip though, and not for the current mainline (unless >the code in linux-tip gets merged). If linux-tip is some x86 topic branch, I think that's the wrong place for fixes that are needed on non-x86 arches. josh _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
