Hi Corey,
The 4.17 merge window is opened now, this patch is not yet in linux-next tree,
so it will be merged into 4.18 ?
Yeah, this came in kind of late, and I had some other critical
things I was having to focus on, so I've been kind of out of the loop.
If it's urgent, I can work on getting it into 4.17 later, but I'd rather
wait on 4.18.

Thanks & Regards,
Haiyue
