Great work Satyam. Personally I hate all the build warnings we get and, just like you, once in a while go on a warning killing spree. It's just so much easier to spot the real problems when the build doesn't spew a ton of pointless warnings. Thank you for doing this, I hope some of your patches get merged. Btw; it would be easier to see if one has got all the patches if you numbered your patch series with the usual "[PATCH XX/YY]". -- Jesper Juhl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
