- through N): incremental fixups, each addressing a specific issue.
This would be great thanks. So just to be clear you're doing that for this patch or just in the future?
Sigh. I guess I'd better start from the very first one: the "patch" (i.e. the whole file) named add_ft4. You should therefore ignore my most recent (i.e, only other) patch. This will take awhile, so I may submit some intermediates one at a time. If I get ambitious I will submit multiple patches in a set. So, my proposed methodology is to pull a completely fresh repository, then begin a cycle of creating and soft-committing incremental patches, and then producing the multi-patch single submittal.
Okay, well, like I said, if you want to split this one into just maybe two pieces, even that would help.
Sorry for being a stickler, but really appreciate you spending a little time making it cleaner. Whoever has to read history and support this driver in five years (even if it's you) will appreciate it too :)
Is it acceptable to continue to use issue #4787 at least until I catch up?
Yep, there doesn't need to be a 1:1 issue:patch ratio :)
