@Greg KH I am working on linux-next .I have tried to rebase my local branch on your staging tree but I am getting too many conflict .and I have tried to clone your staging tree separately but due slow internet I am unable to clone it fully . Is there any other way I can get your staging tree by downloading ? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
