[PATCH 0/1] Renaming 'struct flash_platform_data' into 'struct spi_flash_platform_data' in include/linux/spi/flash.h

[Alexis RODET]

Hi again,

In facts I don't know which git URL to clone for getting linux-next as patch base, can you tell me ?
I'm working on last stable release from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6-stable.git.

I wonder also what to do if people keep committing new files with old structure name:
What should I put to make the define generate a "deprecated" warning ?

BR,
Alexis
