You should fix this up before resending. It looks like no one has updated the dontdiff file in a while, now that we are all using git :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Odd, your patch contains a lot of stuff it shouldn't, here's the diffstat to show what I mean: Documentation/dontdiff |11723 ++++++++++++++++++++- arch/arm/mach-omap2/gpmc.c | 3 block/modules.builtin | 2 crypto/modules.builtin | 16 drivers/block/modules.builtin | 2 drivers/char/hw_random/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/char/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/connector/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/gpio/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/hid/modules.builtin | 2 drivers/hid/usbhid/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/i2c/busses/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/i2c/modules.builtin | 3 drivers/input/keyboard/modules.builtin | 2 drivers/input/modules.builtin | 5 drivers/input/serio/modules.builtin | 3 drivers/input/touchscreen/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/mmc/card/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/mmc/core/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/mmc/host/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/mmc/modules.builtin | 3 drivers/modules.builtin | 38 drivers/net/modules.builtin | 4 drivers/net/phy/modules.builtin | 2 drivers/power/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/rtc/modules.builtin | 2 drivers/scsi/modules.builtin | 2 drivers/serial/modules.builtin | 2 drivers/spi/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/staging/Kconfig | 2 drivers/staging/Makefile | 1 drivers/staging/westbridge/Kconfig | 34 drivers/staging/westbridge/astoria/Kconfig | 9 drivers/staging/westbridge/astoria/Makefile | 11 drivers/staging/westbridge/astoria/api/Makefile | 10 drivers/staging/westbridge/astoria/block/Kconfig | 9 drivers/staging/westbridge/astoria/block/Makefile | 11 drivers/staging/westbridge/astoria/device/Kconfig | 9 drivers/staging/westbridge/astoria/device/Makefile | 14 drivers/staging/westbridge/astoria/gadget/Kconfig | 8 drivers/staging/westbridge/astoria/gadget/Makefile | 11 drivers/usb/core/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/usb/modules.builtin | 2 drivers/usb/mon/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/usb/musb/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/usb/otg/modules.builtin | 1 drivers/w1/modules.builtin | 1 fs/ext2/modules.builtin | 1 fs/ext3/modules.builtin | 1 fs/fat/inode.c | 1 fs/fat/modules.builtin | 3 fs/jbd/modules.builtin | 1 fs/lockd/modules.builtin | 1 fs/modules.builtin | 15 fs/mpage.c | 17 fs/nfs/modules.builtin | 1 fs/nfs_common/modules.builtin | 1 fs/nls/modules.builtin | 3 fs/quota/modules.builtin | 2 lib/modules.builtin | 6 lib/zlib_inflate/modules.builtin | 1 modules.builtin | 92 net/ipv4/modules.builtin | 6 net/key/modules.builtin | 1 net/modules.builtin | 13 net/packet/modules.builtin | 1 net/sunrpc/auth_gss/modules.builtin | 2 net/sunrpc/modules.builtin | 3 net/unix/modules.builtin | 1 net/xfrm/modules.builtin | 1 sound/core/modules.builtin | 1 sound/modules.builtin | 2 72 files changed, 12101 insertions(+), 38 deletions(-) It's also line-wrapped, and doesn't contain a "Signed-off-by:" line so I can't apply it :( Oh, diffstat can't even read the diff properly, so what is above isn't what is really all there, the driver files do seem to be there, just not showing up properly.

Care to redo it? Also, I need a TODO file in the driver directory that details what needs to be done in order to move the code into the main portion of the kernel. Take a look at the other drivers/staging/*/TODO files for examples of the format and content. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
