Hi,
Rob has already explained this at least 2 times.

The second "of" is "open firmware".
I would write it
              array of OF device match structures to search in
:)

Good luck getting a response out of these guys, at this point
you've gotta wonder if they're real people or bots.

Actually, I'd probably do something like

    	     array of Open Firmware (OF) device match structures...

This is the first place in that file (at least in a comment) where OF
gets used, and I've always been a big fan of using the fully expanded
acronym before using the acronym form.  Remember, PCMCIA stands for
People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms.  :-)

(Actually, it's Personal Computer Memory Chip Industry Association,
but most people don't know that, because using acronyms without
defining them first makes you feel like you're an "insider".  :-)

Sure, that's good.

Or just put the struct name in there: of_device_id

But at this point I prefer to just leave it alone for the
entertainment factor of how many times can I get this patch from
send-only email accts.

I think @cdjrlc.com people only have one-way communication with kernel
community, since they send patches but ignoring (critical) review on
these.

Thanks.
