Thanks for fixing the threading, but, Conor's message:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20260213-canteen-diffuser-5ecc80f264b4@spud/   

was exactly right.  Folks who care about XIP support for RISC-V first need 
to send patches to fix it in mainline.  These typo fixes should be rolled 
in to that series.  Until that happens, I plan to keep the XIP removal 
patches queued.

I also want to see the XIP folks participating in testing and reviewing 
upstream patches going forward to confirm that they don't break XIP 
support.  Otherwise, the burden is just getting pushed to patch submitters 
and maintainers, most of whom probably don't care much about XIP.  And 
there's a good chance that we'll just go through this cycle again in 
another few months.
