Subject: RE: [PATCH 4/4] powerpc/mpic: remove unused functions

Hi Scott,

I'm really sorry for leave this patch like a zombie.
Now I have plan to revisit this patch.

From the previous comments the compile error was fixed.
But beyond that I have had no plan to update it.

Could you please comment on why it's still on hold?

Thanks.
