Re: [PATCH] pvrusb2: Fix oops on tear-down when radio support is not present

[Hans Verkuil]

Hi Mike,

For some reason your mailer didn't include a "From:" line, only a "Reply-To:"
line. This means that the patch authorship is not detected by patchwork and
git. Can you repost with a valid From: line in the email header?

Thanks!

	Hans
