One comment though: > Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD (3): > at91: fix at91_set_serial_console: use platform device id > atmel_serial: fix internal port num These two patches look like they should apply to older kernels as well: The code you change has been in the kernel since 2006. For every bug fix you commit, please check if it applies to older kernels as well, and mark with 'Cc: stable@kernel.org' if so. Do you want to update the changelog and send another pull request? Arnd

Or alternatively (i.e. if you don't want to rewrite your tree) just writing to stable@kernel.org and indicating the upstream commit ids is usually OK, too. The other extreme is to point out the affected versions, e.g. by using Cc: stable@kernel.org [2.6.xy+] Best regards Uwe
