Hi Konsta, Before this series can be considered for upstream, I suppose it will need to be ported to the latest codebase. This will likely require a rewrite due to the heavy changes that occured, but hopefully it will also allow you to address some of the hacks more cleanly. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
