Re: [PATCH] [PM] Fixes missing PM entries in sysfs without CONFIG_PM_SLEEP

[David Engraf <david.engraf@netcom.eu>]

Is there an option to make a patch for the recent 2.6.26.1 kernel, so
that I can use the next 2.6.26.2 kernel instead of waiting a few months
for the next big release?

Thanks David Engraf
