Let's look at the history. 10-03-2015: This reminder 03-03-2015: Pull request (ignored from what can be seen) 01-03-2015: Request from Laurent about what's happening 27-02-2015: Reminder 23-02-2015: Re-base (and version 8) due to conflicts 11-02-2015: Reminder 22-01-2015: Pull request 23-12-2014: Version 7 During that time, there's not been one peep from Rob or Grant on this. At what point has there been enough pestering that it's sufficient to bypass an apparently uninterested maintainer, who can't be bothered to say yes or no to a set of patches? For such a key subsystem in the kernel, this is bad. If Grant isn't interested in performing a maintainer role, I'd be willing to pick up that function (which'll be ironic, because that's the kind of thing that Linaro's been doing to me over the last few years... picking stuff off my plate without any discussion or agreement with me first, leaving me with almost nothing to do. No, I'm not pissed at that... not much.) I guess if you were to submit patches to Andrew, Andrew may take them in this circumstance and eventually send them on to Linus.
