If you get Russell's ACK on it (provided it is merged on top of
Adrians patch) Chris can surely merge it into his tree.
He's already merging subsystem-wide patches (like Adrians)
to his tree, often touching several drivers in the process, as is
custom.
Have we checked if there are more spin_lock():s in the
other MMC host drivers that also should be removed as a
result of this or is MMCI the sole sinner?
Cross-tree dependencies is a mess, sadly we have no way
of solving that which is perfect. (Yet.)
Yours,
