hedgehog. If there is no interest in this patch series or you would like
it to look different, please let me know instead of playing games.
"Does not apply" is not a game, you just need to rebase and resubmit as
others are also doing work on the same driver at the same time, so there
can be some conflicts that it is up to the submitter to resolve.
This is normal kernel development, has always been this way.
Thanks for the feedback, Greg!
the underlying issue is that parts of the patch I submitted are now also
submitted by others, and that gets fast-tracked. This has now happened twice,
and I am being told every time to re-submit, without efforts to coordinate
this, or hints that this pattern may stop. This has somewhat made me loose
trust in the process.
I'll nevertheless rebase and resend, and see what happens next.
