You picked this patch into your staging-next branch, I guess from the
original submission. Not sure how Mark wants to continue with the series
from this thread, but at least my plan was that he will create an
immutable branch on top of 5.17-rc2 (assuming 5.17-rc2 will contain
"staging: fbtft: Fix error path in fbtft_driver_module_init()") with the
remaining 4 patches in this series.

In a private mail you agreed to this procedure, but this didn't stop you
taking this patch?! What is your plan here? The obvious (to me) options
are:

 - Delay this series until after the next merge window.
 - You back out this patch from staging-next and ack here for Mark to
   apply it to an immutable branch.
 - You keep this patch in staging-next and still ack here for Mark to
   apply it to an immutable branch. Then the patch would be included
   twice.

Best regards
Uwe
