Yes, I submitted a V2 for this patch (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/11/20/1147).

But--I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to ask if you had any comments on
this patch--I meant to ask about an earlier patch set, and
accidentally replied to the wrong thread.

I meant to ask you about this patch set:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191025190047.38130-1-stuart.w.hayes@xxxxxxxxx/

Thank you!  --Stuart
