I ignored ? I replied straight away asking him to tell me exactly what
he needed and pointing out all the things which he's complaining about
that he asked me to get rid of himself. For example, original driver was
using devm_*, Jonathan asked to remove, I tried arguing and he said he
wanted them out, so I removed, now he's asking me why I didn't use
devm_* to start with.

That's ridiculous, that's what pointless and a total waste of time.

Not to mention that there was a long hiatus from Jonathan for weeks
until he said "yeah, sorry, I had forgotten about this". Because of
Jonathan alone, we lost a merge window. I send the original driver
because v3.17-rc1 was even tagged and now you tell me that it's
ridiculous I'm upset with Jonathan's lazy responses ?

gimme a break
