Hi Andrew, Mauro, all,

Two things I am worried about.

First point:

> -i2c-chips-need-hwmon.patch
> -gregkh-i2c-hwmon-02-sparc64-fix.patch
> (...)
>  Merged

Hopefully not, as they were fixes for:

> -gregkh-i2c-hwmon-01.patch
> -gregkh-i2c-hwmon-02.patch
> -gregkh-i2c-hwmon-03.patch

which were dropped (and quite rightly so).

All these are obviously i2c updates, not driver core updates.

Andrew, something's wrong in your log generator (if such a thing
exists)?

Second point:

> +gregkh-i2c-i2c-address_range_removal-v4l-fix.patch
> +gregkh-i2c-i2c-address_range_removal-v4l-fix-fix.patch
> 
>  Fix v4l updates for changes in Greg's i2c tree

All these changes were already present and correct in
i2c-address_range_removal.patch, which is in Greg's i2c tree for 2.5
months. Then Mauro Carvalho Chehab reverted them with
v4l-update-for-tuner-cards-and-some-chips.patch, breaking several v4l
drivers. And then he provides a "fix" with
gregkh-i2c-i2c-address_range_removal-v4l-fix.patch, which ironically
reads:

No, Mauro. This patch is necessary to fix something YOU just broke with
your previous patch. So please learn how to make correct patches that
don't randomly revert previous changes. This will make everyone's life
easier, including Andrew's, Greg's and mine.

Thanks,
