Thanks Lee!
> What Acks are you waiting on? What's the merge strategy?
I think everything else has been acked by maintainers, except the
power-supply parts. I think those have only been looked at by Andreas
and Linus W. Haven't heard anything from Sebastian :(
I would love to see the patches 1 - 14 and 17 to be merged (via MFD?). I
could then re-spin the 15 and 16 to limited audience as I hope Sebastian
had time to take a look at them. However, I don't think any of the other
patches in the series depend on the last .
Yours,
-- Matti.
