I actually don't rebase from main-version to main-version (that doesn't really work), but I'm using format-patch and git am. It's a bit more strict when that's ok. I haven't looked in deep which changes in 3.15 do conflict with the patch based on 3.14, but it't can't be that much. >> Looking at the differences, I wonder if not all spin_lock() calls in >> hid-sensor-hub.c should be changed into spin_lock_irqsave() like the >> patch from Jiri Kosina did. > > Could you please give me your Tested-by:?

Sure, but I already did that in the reply to your patch. >> (sorry for the duplicate message, I've forgotten to add the >> wanna-be-reviewer-school named lkml to the recipients) > > You want to make it to LWN quotes of the week, don't you? :) No, I'm just too often the object of their first steps and that's why I won't post any patches on lkml anymore. It might be fun for them to do reviews on patches from innocent people, but those victims usually don't share their view. Maybe I will choose full disclosure or similiar I ever will have an important patch poor Linux users should really have a need for.
