Jeff,
Sorry about that. We'll add the signed-off-by line.
We are sending the patches as and when they are completed.
In the next couple of days, the remaining patches should
be done. Do you want us to send them after all are complete
or is it okay to send each patch as and when completed ?

Thanks,
Ravi

48 hours passed between patch #3 and patch #4. Is there a problem with your email system?

Also, your patches do not include the "signed-off-by" line described in the two documents I referenced. The "signed-off-by" line makes the lawyers happy.

Since you missed that major legal item, please _read_ the following documents:

http://linux.yyz.us/patch-format.html (see #5, "Sign your work")
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt

Hi,

Maybe you already have this planned or patched, but it wasn't
in the "cosmetic" patch file.

In s2io.c, please convert this struct to C99 syntax:
static struct pci_driver s2io_driver = {
      name:"S2IO",
      id_table:s2io_tbl,
      probe:s2io_init_nic,
      remove:__devexit_p(s2io_rem_nic),
};

so that sparse won't complain like so:
drivers/net/s2io.c:238:7: warning: obsolete struct initializer, use C99 syntax drivers/net/s2io.c:239:7: warning: obsolete struct initializer, use C99 syntax drivers/net/s2io.c:240:7: warning: obsolete struct initializer, use C99 syntax drivers/net/s2io.c:241:7: warning: obsolete struct initializer, use C99 syntax

and if you haven't tried sparse on the driver, that would be a
good idea.
