Hi KernelNewbies, Apologies if this is a stupid question. I was finishing up on a patch to add a new (fairly small) feature to an existing driver. While looking at the archives for the relevant mailing list, I noticed another contributor had submitted a patch to add the exact same feature just under a year ago, but the thread seems to have gone stale. I believe there are some bits that were missing from this patch in terms of correctness. What's the usual etiquette to approach this situation? I could: 1. submit my patch for review anyway; or 2. resurrect this thread providing a review for it along with the additions I think might be necessary; or 3. a combination of both? --- Torin
