Hi Peter,
This patch series moves the existing {get,put}_unaligned_[bl]e24() definitions
into include/linux/unaligned/generic.h. This patch series also introduces a function
for sign-extending 24-bit into 32-bit integers and introduces users for all new
functions and macros. Please consider this patch series for kernel version v5.5.
While I applaud the effort (and didn't see anything off in a hurry), I do
wonder why you think I should route these patches.
I don't think I've ever touched the unaligned accessors...

Hi Peter,
I wasn't sure which kernel maintainer to send this patch series to.
Andrew, I think that the include/linux/unaligned/generic.h header file
went upstream through your tree in 2008. Can you perhaps recommend me to
which kernel maintainer I should send this patch series? An archived
version of this patch series is available at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191028200700.213753-1-bvanassche@xxxxxxx/T/#t.
Thanks,
Bart.
