Balbi,
Please note that the driver patches were submitted to L-o as RFC initially and all the comments provided by the community are fixed before it is pushed by Tony. 

There would be a time gap between the day the patches are submitted and before Tony pushes the patches to the tree. Any valid comments provided then would get promptly fixed. This would definetely avoid cleaning stuff which is already in tree to whatever extent it is possible.

Regards,
Madhu
