Hi Greg, hi Dan

the toolingproblem is a little bit more complicated. Since a mainline kernel
isn't directly able to boot on the RasPi, for testing I work with a Raspbian
kernel. Since at the beginning, I never thought of submitting the driver, I
started with a side-build project with SVN - that's stil my master... In
addition, disk is full :-( 

So in principle nothing is really adequate to meet the need of easy
participating in kernel development.
I will revise my tooling, as soon as I find the time and quietness - most
probably I need to setup from scratch.

For the announced change in rf69.c I will try to equip an SVN-diff with
apropriate headers next week, so Dan can crosscheck with his work - I hope, I
will make it without errors...

Have a nice weekend,

Marcus
