This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
Platform: samsung_laptop: samsung backlight for R528/R728
to my gregkh-2.6 tree which can be found in directory form at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/patches/
and in git form at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/patches.git
The filename of this patch is:
platform-samsung_laptop-samsung-backlight-for-r528-r728.patch
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
If this patch meets the merge guidelines for a bugfix, it should be
merged into Linus's tree before the next major kernel release.
If not, it will be merged into Linus's tree during the next merge window.
Either way, you will probably be copied on the patch when it gets sent
to Linus for merging so that others can see what is happening in kernel
development.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

params
