We appear to have some outstanding activity on this quite old patchset. >From my notes: - An unresponded-to question from Claudia: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230307192421.30ab869c@p-imbrenda - Hoping for overall review from David - Another query from Claudia, and a response indicating that a v7 is in the works. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230307194320.79373a26@p-imbrenda/T/#u - Another unresponded-to review query: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230307195119.745d0b46@p-imbrenda - Another response indicating that a v7 is coming https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230307195313.2e21245a@p-imbrenda So I think I'll drop the v6 series.
