No, please don't - As I told you in the other reply, this patch is not
acceptable.

When a patch is not upstream the appropriate thing to do is to comment on
the series.

We rebase development patches before they go upstream, so it just makes no
sense.

In addition this patch is not upstreamble as-is. You are getting at the
issue, but you're effectively undermining what my series does with this
proposal.

So while I appreciate the report, unfortunately this is not a patch we can
do anything with.
