Arnd, Assuming Darren will do the fixup for title and message as recommended by Sathyanarayanan before committing: Acked-by: Mario Limonciello <[email protected]> Thanks, for the fix. For my own information and improvement, would you share how you caught that? Just added "-Werror=format-overflow=" to CFLAGS? I wasn't seeing the compile errors with default flags in my own testing, so I'd like to make sure I'm doing better testing in the future.
