I sent that RFC patch on 20.12.2024, today is 13.10.2025 - if this is not a
reasonable time, well, what is? By the same time I sent 2 other patches and
they are already in -next. In the meanwhile I see patches sent in the
morning to be reviewed till the end of the day - not critical bugfixes
patches but new functionality.

Well, you've used a subject line for a different subsystem so there's a
good chance that I simply didn't look at the mail beyond that (many of
us get a lot of random CCs). You also don't seem to have CCed the ALSA
list, nor for that matter Morimoto-san who maintains the generic card so
perhaps I was just waiting for his review. I honestly can't remember.
I'll also note that there's only been a week of work time for me so far
this year, and you sent this on the last day I worked last year.


Honestly, I was surprised Morimoto-san was missing, but see:

this is on 6.6.y, against which the RFC patch is. Perhaps I should have called get_maintainer.pl in -next tree, my bad, will note for the future.

Also, I don't understand how the ping was content free, given that it was on
top of the original patch, unless I don't get what "content free" is
supposed to mean, possible, I am not native English speaker.

Your mail added the single word "ping". That is not saying anything
meaningful so adds nothing, and as the form letter I sent indicated
results in a mail that's not directly actionable. As it says:

Blub for the subject letter thing:

Please submit patches using subject lines reflecting the style for the
subsystem, this makes it easier for people to identify relevant patches.
Look at what existing commits in the area you're changing are doing and
make sure your subject lines visually resemble what they're doing.
There's no need to resubmit to fix this alone.

oh, yeah, sorry, that should have been ASoC:, not soc:

Ok, I think both of us wasted lots of cycles in vain, please, just confirm if I shall do anything else but wait.

Thanks and regards,
Ivo
