What's a maintainer good for, if it's not for maintaining the code quality? The patch needlessly moves huge chunks of crap, adds stupid comments, wastes memory. If that's what you want just to remove a debugging message on devices that virtually nobody owns, so be it. --- MAINTAINERS | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) --- wireless-testing.orig/MAINTAINERS +++ wireless-testing/MAINTAINERS @@ -1066,7 +1066,6 @@ F: include/net/ax25.h F: net/ax25/ B43 WIRELESS DRIVER -M: Michael Buesch M: Stefano Brivio L: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org W: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
