What is this? Are you sure this patch is properly attributed? Was Abdoulaye Walsimou Gaye really the first to submit this patch?
Best regards,

Would you like the older one ? As you said, they looked the same.
It does not matter what I like. What matters is who is to be credited for this patch, and in my opinion this has to be the first to submit it.
You don't get any credits any more today for inventing a light bulb, either.
Best regards,

Hello all, May be having tools such as patchwork will avoid people to submit the same patch. Recently linux-mips[1] adopted patchwork and it seems useful (for submitters and maintainers).
