I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was the merge window. I'm new to this process.

I'm not in a hurry. What I meant is I understand that Ard's change
would also fix the issue but it's a bigger change with a higher chance
of being rolled back. That's why I believe it's a good idea to merge
my change first and then later merge Ard's change. This way, even if
it's rolled back, it won't make the bug reappear.

I have this solution in my kernel. I just don't want to carry it forever.

What should I do now? Should I change something in the code? Should I just wait?

Thanks for your help.
