I agree about the mechanical stuff, thus my suggestion. We do what we
can about testing and reviewing. And once it reaches linux-next
(hopefully next week latest), test coverage will increase significantly
and we can fix issues incrementally from there on. Same goes when it
finally hits Linus' tree, coverage will increase more, but we should be
really at a very sane level then ;)

I will  also pick up patch 15 (the removal) for 4.8. So we have the full
4.7 cycle to revert if something goes very wrong.

Yes. That would be great. I need to sync with the media maintainers
anyhow. I'd like to push all the patches via my tree.

Thanks,
