mchehab: for the serial_ir bug Linus found, what happens next? Will he merge it or does it go through you, in which case, should I create a PR?
syoung: I'll send him the patch
yet, Ingo asked him to revert a patch that would likely solve the issue too
hmm... why do you move the function? that makes harder to analize the diff
syoung: just sent the patch to Linus
he'll likely apply either the one you sent or the one I sent (with keeps the function at the same place, in order to reduce the diffstat, making easier to review)
if he applies my version, feel free to send me a patch moving it to the original place, in order to avoid the function protoypes before the function
mchehab: I was trying to avoid having to add prototypes
syoung: usually, on such fixups, we prefer to add prototypes, as it makes easier to review
we can always get rid of the prototypes on a later patch that doesn't need backports
