Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/2] Remove unnecessary tests and cast before kfree/kvfree

Hi All,

I've seen that some patches of mine, more recent the following ones, have 
already been applied. In the past I had noticed that the patches are 
(usually?) placed in a time of submission ordered FIFO, unless they are 
rejected.

I'm wondering if I should re-send them or if I am missing some details about 
the specific workflow of staging/media.

Thanks,

Fabio
