Hi Greg,
I was checking drivers code to see which are still using semaphore. I
found some in staging. When i opened the code for upgrading that to
MUTEX i found a note. that says:
* NOTE TO LINUX KERNEL HACKERS: DO NOT REFORMAT THIS CODE!
*
* This is shared code between Digi's CVS archive and the
* Linux Kernel sources.
* Changing the source just for reformatting needlessly breaks
* our CVS diff history.
*
* Send any bug fixes/changes to: Eng.Linux at digi dot com.
* Thank you.
*/
Involved codes are
./drivers/staging/dgap/dgap_tty.c
./drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_tty.c
Please let me know if i can submit a patch against these files.
Regards
Kumar Gaurav

Yes you can, in fact, you can send a patch to remove those lines :)
