239 Greetings! <<
240 <<
241 overcautious programming will kill you <<
242 ever thought about checking a spin_loc <<
243 asserting that it must be held (maybe <<
244 spinlock debugging?) ... <<
245 <<
246 there are several checks present in th <<
247 where somebody does a variation on the <<

250 <<
251 so what's wrong about that? nothing, u <<
252 compile the code with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPI <<
253 without CONFIG_SMP ... in which case t <<
254 will kill your kernel ... <<

581 ii. Remove C99 initializations from pci_de <<
582 <<
583 "pci_id_table_g would be much more rea <<
584 initializers. <<
585 PCI table doesn't change, there's lots <<
