Jean is still listed in the MAINTAINERS file and I remember working with him for years on i2c and lm_sensors related codes and patches. >> I tested the patches and they fix the ipmi_ssif detection issue I had. >> So I'm willing to add "Tested-by" to the patches if that helps. > > Ehrm, why didn't you do this right away? Because I only just learned about it 2 days ago. It took Cavium a while to get me a pointer to the patch they said would fix my problem. Said problem I've only had for a couple of weeks since it's brand new (to me) hardware. > This helps _a lot_! With these > tags, I might have considered them earlier.

I haven't had a chance to contribute much since the change to Git, so I'm not familiar with the "local customs" and procedures to add those tags. Can you help by being specific about what you need from me? While the patches did apply to the latest 4.15 kernel tree, there was some fuzz and I think it would be good to rebase or go over them to make sure that all the code bits are put in the right places. I guess that falls to me to do, but I'm worried we'll miss the 4.16 window which I would really like to see happen. > Rule of thumb: If you need patches, show your interest. Understood and I am...
