Isn't this the same patch you sent earlier:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11027909/

>From what I can tell, it's the same but with an extra [-next], I
remember that I've acked that one
but your patch now does not have it? Is this an oversight, because I'm
the maintainer for this
driver. So, in my opinion at least the "ack" should have some value
and shouldn't be "ignored".

Look, from what I know, Kalle is not ignoring you, It's just that
carl9170 is no longer top priority.
So please be patient. As long as its queued in the patchwork it will
get considered.

Cheers,
Christian
