Greg,

Thats the problem I have - I can't track where the changes came from.

The commit details show:

commit
100d45970327f78584ff4846deeca14bba511e28

But this file -
drivers/usb/host/uhci-platform.c

isn't the version I supplied in the patchset. There are no other commits
against it so I assume it was changed before it was committed.

Confused?!?
