No, please go for your solution. It is the right thing to do and definitely 
better then my "remove some comments" patch. David Howells as MN10300 
maintainer already agreed to your suggestion. So I would like to recall my 
patch https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/95651/ and let you submit a patch 
with your idea to the MN10300 maintainers which supersede my patch.

The state of https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/95652/ hasn't been changed and 
I would love to see it merged by Arnd Bergmann in the next merge window.

Kind regards,
	Peter Fritzsche
