Do you really think that moving around two lines of code is a big
enough creative achievement to justify adding a copyright note on it?

And even with "All rights reserved."?


I stop reviewing this patch set here.  I'm sorry, but I really dislike
the way how it - intentionally or unintentionally - appears to be
driven by the attempt to increase Nvidias presence in copyright
claims.

This seems not fair to me, and I would like to ask you to rework this
whole patch set and be a little less aggressive in copyright claims.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
