Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/3] Add multi mode support for omap-mcspi

Hello Mark,

Given how far we already are in the current cycle I suppose this series 
will only be considered after -rc1, will you want me to re-send or will 
it stay on your stack? I know some maintainers prefer contributors to 
re-send and others don't, so let met know what suits best your workflow.

Thanks!
Louis
