No. Greg took your patch as is. No new versions for patches that Maintainers (i.e., Greg Kroah-Hartman for drivers/staging and several other subsystems and drivers) already applied. We've been discussing this topic after Greg had already taken your patch only for the purpose to clarify to you why he suggested a better commit message. However, he suggested that better message while stating that he prefers to take your patch as is to give you time to work on something new. I suppose that you received the two automated messages, the first which communicates that your patch has been applied to his staging-test tree and the second which says that it has moved forward to the next step, which is the staging-next tree. I saw those messages in Cc because I put my "Reviewed-by" tag to your patch, so I know you had them. Fabio P.S.: Today I sent you an off-list message.
