Hi Geert,

This is a link to the discussion with Andy as per Linus Torvalds'
recent request to use the Link: tag to point to actually useful
information rather than just the patch's origin. Linus Walleij doesn't
use b4 so the origin link you'd normally expect to be added
automatically is not there at all. That's probably what caused the
confusion.
