Hello all,

First, I'd like to thank Mani for the Acked-by.

I'm writing to kindly follow up, as I haven’t seen it merged yet, and I 
wanted to check in on its status.

The issue the patch addresses is still reproducible on the latest 
mainline kernel, so I believe it's still relevant.


Thanks,
Bo
