Wait longer :)

I'm still chasing bugs in 4.20-rc2, I haven't started merging many
patches for 4.21 yet.

Your patches are tracked in patchwork here:
  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?submitter=75253


If they're still in "new" state around rc5 then feel free to ping me
again.

cheers
