Re: [PATCH v4 0/5] Bluetooth: Add new MGMT interface for advertising add

[Daniel Winkler]

Hello Maintainers,

Just a friendly reminder to review this kernel patch series. I may
have accidentally named this series the same as the userspace series,
so I apologize if it has caused the set to be hidden in anybody's
inbox. I'll be sure not to do this in the future.

Thanks in advance for your time!

Best regards,
Daniel Winkler
