Yes, but I can't understand what's that related with this independent
thread. and it is fact of no feedback on this thread over 1 months and
missed one merge windows.
I read your comments again.
"I understand you want to push your patches upstream and I also want to
make things move forward",
I think you mis-understand that I want to be maintainer to make ungoing
patch "i3c: master: some fix and improvemnt for hotjoin" go forward.
That no convergence patch is i3c common master part, not svc driver part.
Even I become svc maintainer, no help for go forward at all.
