Hello Arne,
hello development folks (CC'ed),

the other day, I came across these two ARM-related kernel patches in ~/src/patches/, and am unsure
if you still need them.

Could you please drop me a line if you don't, so I can delete them as well? :-)

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller

Hello,

If they are not referenced in an lfs file we don’t need them any more.

Please group all those patches in a patchset to avoid too much loose stuff on the list.

Hello Michael,

thanks for your reply.

Well, since I never really understood what magic Arne does with the Linux kernel on ARM, I thought
I better asked in the first place. :-)

Point taken.

Thanks, and best regards,

You can run an ARM build and see if stuff breaks.

If it breaks on the nightly builders you will owe me a bottle of something nice :)
