Re: [PATCH] [ath5k][leds] Ability to disable leds support. If leds support enabled do not force mac802.11 leds layer selection.

[Dmytro Milinevskyy]

Pavel, thank you for the response here.

I agree with all your comments and will adjust the patch according to them.

I'm new to the submitting patches into the community and I appreciate
telling criticism so that in future I will not cause that much
troubles.

Regards,
