At this point in the kernel release cycle I can really only apply
patches for serious regressions. That's the policy I need to keep
to.

It also causes a problem if I put dependencies on Torvald's
tree this late in the kernel cycle, because I need to get the
changes back into my tree in order to base new stuff on them.
I can't really do that until he releases an -rc that I can merge
back.

At this point I'd maybe have to merge back v5.4 and that doesn't
feel good at all.

So far I applied patches 1 & 2 for v5.5.

Yours,
