Description Marcus Barrow 2009-01-15 17:59:04 UTC
There have been numerous updates to the upstream driver since the 5.3 submissions. There will be several batches of patches to attempt to bring the driver closer to it's upstream cousin.

The patches will be grouped to aid in the submission process and will be described below as they become available.

Comment 1 Andrius Benokraitis 2009-01-23 19:44:09 UTC
