Ping.
Couple of notes:
1) this affects code that doesn't really have a maintainer. I could
take it in my tree, but I would like to have acks from other
maintainers. Perhaps Jessica Yu (Module maintainer), and probably one
from Linus himself.
I hardly look through scripts/, so this patch would definitely need
Masahiro's (for all things kbuild) ack as well.
2) Do not send new versions of a patch as a reply to the old version. I
and many other maintainers sort our inbox by threads, and I look at the
top of the thread for patches. That is, if there's another version of a
patch that is a reply to a previous version, it is basically off my
radar, unless I happen to notice it by chance (which I did with this
email).
You can send your v4 patch again, but please send it as its own thread,
that way it will be on the radar of other maintainers. Hopefully we can
get some acks on this as well.
Also, why wasn't this patch sent to lkml? At least I don't see it on
cc. If you resend v4, please send it there as well so it can get more
coverage.
Thanks,
Jessica
