Hi Pavel,

You forgot the Signed-off-by line.

Huawei, Changchun, any comment on this patch?

2015-03-18 15:16, Pavel Boldin:

As there are 2 bugs, you should provide 2 patches.

> Fix these bugs and refactor the module.

Why refactoring along with the bug fixes?
You'd have more chances to have your fixes integrated in 2.0 without
refactoring.

Thanks
