Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker speaking. Top-posting
for once, to make this easy accessible to everyone.
What's the status of this regression and getting it fixed? It looks like
there was quite some progress for a while, but then things seem to have
come to a halt ten days ago. Could anyone please provide a status
update, please?
Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'Linux kernel regression tracker' hat)
P.S.: As a Linux kernel regression tracker I'm getting a lot of reports
on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them. Unfortunately
therefore I sometimes will get things wrong or miss something important.
I hope that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to
tell me about it in a public reply, that's in everyone's interest.
