Sorry, I don't understand your request. I found
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20220530180408.16239-1-palmer@rivosinc.com/

but I don't know what a full-on patch is and what stops you merging my
patch. 

Is it that it's in reply to a patch series and b4 fails to fetch the
right patch and you ask to send it in a new thread?

Best regards
Uwe
