For this particular case: Acked-by: Olof Johansson <o...@lixom.net> Note that the "this might cause problems with backports" case is mostly academic in the scope of _this particular driver_. It's still a very valid discussion and issue though. So I'll be happy to give the ack on this driver, but the larger problem needs consideration still. -Olof -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
