Thanks, Greg! I'll start preparing more patches.

I know that patches should be in linux-next for some time before the
merge window opens. How long do they typically need to be in linux-next?
I'm trying to figure out if the next patches I work on could be included
in the next merge window, in which case I'll let the maintainers know
that the patch will either need to go through the driver-core tree or
wait for the next release cycle.

Thanks,
Kim
