Hmm...Sangbeom,

Absolutely, I agree with Russell's opinions.
According to your previous patch, maybe you made a mistake :(

And should be changed PWM Timer for HRT on SMDKV210, because PWM Timer3 is already used for backlight.

Please re-submit it, rc8 already released. I think you know the meaning ;)

Russell,
Thanks for your pointing out and I will think again about the patch subjects of Samsung stuff before applying.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Kgene.
