Greg tells me that the semaphore to mutex change didn't go into Linus' tree. However, this patch can still be applied as the device_lock/unlock primitives did go in. I guess that the include of mutex.h is not needed. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr(a)canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/

It is pulled in via linux/usb.h and this is surely not bound to change anytime soon, but still. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-=- --== -=--= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
