That's right, fixes are the highest priority and we need to get those
into the mainline kernel ASAP. Otherwise there will be insane amounts
of wasted duplicate effort with people tracking the same bugs over
and over again like we've seen with omap over the years.

If you have fixes, get them into the mainline kernel.

Do not pile up fixes in some development tree where nobody will
find them.
