I don't like the uint*_t types as well.This change was pushed very heavily for by Brad Hards, based on aconclusion of a rather lengthy discussion (I think on linux-usb) onwhich types should be used.Now the question remaining is how to fix that? You can just skip thepatch. I've tried a 'bk undo', but that complains about unmerged leavesin that case (though really nothing depends on those changes). Or shouldI just make another cset on top of all the previous?-- Vojtech PavlikSuSE Labs-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.orgMore majordomo info at read the FAQ at
