Often ignored during review. I was under the impression that posting patches when the merge window is closed will be met with a "post your patch later when the merge window is open" response. That is why I chose the "RFC patch" path since RFCs can be posted anytime. For the Networking Subsystem, it is documented that patches with new features shouldn't be posted when the merge window is closed. I have mostly posted patches for the Networking Subsystem and am not sure about the rules for the device-tree bindings and PCI Subsystems. To be on the safe side I posted this patch as an RFC patch. Thank you for clarifying that it is alright to post patches even when merge window is closed. Going forward I shall not post RFC patches unless it really requires feedback and suggestions. -- Regards, Siddharth.
