It seems like the patch was sent in a series together with driver changes, so I presume you took the whole series. Unfortunately it's quite common for these platform enablement efforts to be spread across multiple subsystems and we keep seeing the series be grouped by function rather than maintainer... Not sure if there's anything to do about this. > I'll go revert it from my tree. {sigh} > Thanks! Regards, Bjorn
