Re: [PATCH V3 0/7] Add scan demux unit and use it in max1363

Hi Jonathan,

I can't seem to find a proper way to apply this patchset. On what
patchset is it based ?

I'm still here with what seems to be a rather old version of your tree
(3413ec), but it is still the head of your git tree on kernel.org.

Thanks,
Maxime
