Well, the Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt says:
- To have the patch automatically included in the stable tree, add the tag
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org
in the sign-off area. Once the patch is merged it will be applied to
the stable tree without anything else needing to be done by the author
or subsystem maintainer.
So I guess, you don't need to resend it.
Also, IIUC, if you can identify all the stable kernels it applies to,
you can specify them like:
Cc: <sta...@vger.kernel.org> # 3.x, 2.6.x
This can save some work for those responsible for adding the patch to stable.
Now, if you say, it is applicable to all kernels since the omapfb support was
merged, I think, the above example it the right choice.
Anyway, Greg, please correct me if I've got anything wrong.
Thanks
