What I'm asking is that you, or someone else at your time, take over
these patches from Dan and myself and help with the huge backlog we have
in V4L2. You can't expect maintainers to fix everything in their spare
time. Helping there is a good way to lower the pressure on maintainers
and get patches reviewed more quickly.
