Problem is that I have no idea if any of the patches in this series really work.
I wasn't copied on all patches, meaning I don't have the infrastructure, meaning
I'll have to dig them up from patchwork for testing, and/or figure out if the
required infrastructure is already in the kernel, and that all takes time.
Just Acking or applying the the patches w/o testing doesn't seem appropriate,
given their level of intrusiveness. I did spend most of today working through
my backlog of hwmon patches, but that series simply was too much. I hope I'll
get to it tomorrow, but no promises.
