For this kind of patch it's better to ignore the over 80 char warnings
and send the fixes for that in a separate patch.

I've reviewed all five patches and I didn't see any bugs.  Some of the
JOM() and SAM() messages and normally that kind of thing should be 
mentioned in the changelog, but those were small changes so *shrug*.

Dan is right, this one doesn't apply.  So I've applied the first 16
patches in this series, but not the rest.  Care to redo them and resend?

Re: [PATCH 2/6] Staging: hv: Rename vm_device to hyperv_device

On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 06:06:03PM -0800, K. Y. Srinivasan wrote:

That's a nice name, but it's the first one with a "hyperv_" prefix in
this subsystem.  Ok, second, but hyperv_service_context doesn't really
count as it's not really used.

Everything else is named "hv_" here.  Which is it going to be, "hv_" or
"hyperv_"?

Either is fine, just be aware of the work involved if you pick
"hyperv_"...

You also rename vm_device_info to hyperv_device_info here, doing more
than one thing in a single patch.

Please don't do that, this should be 2 patches.

RE: [PATCH] staging-2.6.git: brcm80211: FIX for bug that prevents system from entering suspend state

Dear Greg KH,

I am so sorry to make another annoyance with this mail but I don't understand why the patch no longer applies
to the staging-next tree. I've downloaded staging-2.6.git several times and checked the tree again and
again, but couldn't find the mistake I made.

Would you please give me a direction what I am supposed to do to make this patch right?

Again, I so sorry to bother you.

Regards,

Dowan Kim

What branch are you making the patch against?

How did you try to apply it?

How did you generate it?

Specifics please.

Your email client isn't configured correctly.  It's swapping tabs for
spaces.  Please read Documentation/email-clients.txt  There is a section
on Thunderbird.

1) Email the patch to yourself.
2) Save the raw email (including headers and everything)
3) cat saved_email.txt | patch -p1
4) When that works resubmit the patch.
