Please run scripts/get_maintainer.pl next time around so we get the
right people looking at a patch.


Of course I know this script -:)
I didn't cc since I felt to avoid unnecessary overloading someone's
inbox. I don't think anyone(even ARM) is interested in this feature
other than Marc and me/Ampere. Otherwise this would have merged
upstream by now.

You're wrong on a lot of this. There is quite a significant interest,
actually. But in the fine corporate tradition, not even my employer
can be bothered to actively contribute. These people are waiting for
things to land. I'm happy to make them wait even longer (I'm paying
for my own HW, so I don't owe anyone anything).

The architecture also wasn't in a good enough state for the support to
be merged until very recently, and it still is broken in a lot of
respects.

BTW, NV feature development started way back in 2016/17.

And? Cc'ing individuals and lists is basic courtesy, I'm afraid.
Please don't leave people in the dark.

Sure, My apologies, will not skip in future!


Thanks,

M.
