Thorsten,
Andreas posted the patch to linux-m68k so it should be included in Geert's tree shortly, and find its way into Linus' tree in the next merge window.We can always get it submitted through Geert's tree if that's easier.That's how it has to go, please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt for how to get patches into the stable tree.Hm, I thought it was submitted to Geert's tree already? I just tried
to write to stable so it will *also* get included there, as this is kinda… crucial for Debian now :S
We may need to keep a few extra patches against a stable kernel version (on top of the Debian patch set) for some time.
I'd very much prefer Debian kernel maintainers would accept patches from the respective architecture maintainers' tree, but that may not come to happen in my lifetime.
Cheers, Michael
