Dear Gabriel and André,

I hope this email finds you well. 
I'm following up on the patch I had submitted linked below.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241111-unsignedcompare1601569-v1-1-c4a9c3c75a52@xxxxxxxxx/
I noticed it hasn't been applied yet, and I wanted to see if there was anything 
else needed from my end.
Please let me know if any further information or modifications are required.
I appreciate your time and feedback.  

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Karan.
