Please be more specific in your replies, no one will accept code that "does stuff" and expecting a reviewer to spend time guessing or pulling the information out of you is a sure way to get your patches ignored. Exactly what kind of stuff are you talking about here and exactly which problem are you solving. > Thats how our downstream has been working so far and hence to maintain > the compatibility would like to have it. Make your proprietary code work with the upstream kernel and you shouldn't ever have to modify it.
