I add the RFC tag to "tells maintainers should review your patch thoroughly,
and provide feedback. RFC is typically used when sending feature patches for
the first time, or anytime the patch is more than just a simple bug fix."
(from https://kernelnewbies.org/PatchTipsAndTricks). I was not aware that this
tag may be interpreted differently. I can send a new patchset if necessary.

Best regards,
