Have you asked the original author about this? There has to be some reason the patch was not accepted, right? Try asking them what happened
No, because the email address recorded in the patch is no longer valid.
If that's the case, then I can't accept an invalid "From:" line on a patch, sorry. I need an address of someone that will be responsible for it.
Got it. Although I think Eric might be active on LKML, albeit with a different address. I'm hoping he'll pitch in once I submit the patch with your suggestions. Thanks again, -mandeep
So in that case, put your address as a "From:" and in the body say, "Originally written by .... but forward ported by me" or something to that affect.
thanks,
