As the merge window is now over, please just resend the patches.
Remember maintainers can not add anything to their trees usually for the
week before, and during the 2 weeks of, the merge window, so that might
account for the delay here.

Also, just resend because things do get lost.

Well ... 6 more months have passed without any response.  During that
time I've resent the patch series 3 times.

To help out, while waiting, why not review some patches for the same
subsystem on the mailing list to provide help for the maintainers?  That
help can go a long way in making sure your patches are reviewed.

Unfortunately, I just don't have the knowledge to do that.  I am not at
all experienced with kernel development, nor do I have any knowledge of
interrupt context code or Devicetree, which are the subject of the vast
majority of patches to that subsystem.

(I don't want to be more specific, because I'm not trying to "name &
shame" anyone.  I'm sure that the people who work on this particular
subsystem are simply overwhelmed.)

Is there anything else that I can do?  Should I just give up at this
point?
