I wouldn't worry, Arjan. There is no basis for Dave's claim, and he knows perfectly well I was working on it before I was working for Intel. It's perfectly sensible janitorial-type work which has needed doing for ages, and which I got interested in after a discussion about the kernel that Fedora ships. The Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (of which I'm a member) agreed that Fedora would _like_ to ship a firmware-less kernel, if that was technically feasible (and didn't involve actually breaking drivers). -- dwmw2 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
