Please test patches that you want applied to the stable tree, otherwise
it wastes my time :(
This patch causes the following build error, so I have dropped it now:
drivers/net/r8169.c: In function ‘rtl8169_interrupt’:
drivers/net/r8169.c:4626:9: error: ‘RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_28’ undeclared
(first use in this function)
If you want to provide a proper patch that works, please do.
thanks,
greg k-h
