Hey, because I am new to Kernel submissions I wanted to ask if there is a way for me to see / track how far this commit has gone in the pipeline of commits?

IIRC you sent the patch during the merge window, so it wouldn't be
applied for v6.1-rc1. You'll get an email from the patchwork-bot when it
gets applied.

Yep, this is one of the more confusing parts of the Linux development process for new folks (or at least was for me when I was new): you send a patch and it's not super clear what's going to happen to it for a while. The merge window is generally a pretty hectic time, so stuff like this that's not fixing a bug or adding some frameware that other patches depend on can kind of get lost in the shuffle.

I always feel kind of bad for folks about that, but patchwork should help some here as at least we can get the smaller stuff called out.

This is on for-next, thanks!
