I hope you meant queue it up for 6.3 and not 6.4?

This series is supposed to fix a bunch of issues and I vaguely think
the series depends on this patch to work correctly on some Renesas
systems. You are my main renesas person, so it's probably some issue
you hit. Is you pick it up outside of this series I need to keep
asking folks to pick up two different patch threads. I don't have a
strong opinion, just a FYI. If you can take this patch soon, I don't
have any concerns.

Sounds good.
