Will do when the patch hits Linus git tree. I have a quick question on the process here. From the netdev-faq document I was under the impression all stable patches under net/ and drivers/net should be brought up to you and would be handled by you. Does this apply to the core part of net (I fully understand that ieee802154 is rather a niche) or is there some other reason for this exception? Both processes (the normal stable one as well as the slightly different one for net/) would be fine to go with for me. Just need to know which one I should use for future stable patches. :-) regards Stefan Schmidt

Sometimes this makes things easier for me, and I'll ask you to submit things directly when that is the case like right now. Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to explain it. I will go ahead and handle the stable patches for ieee802154 directly from now on. If you want to have this changed again just let me know. regards Stefan Schmidt
