Yes, and I guess with the recent ML issues you did not catch my reply in
the initial thread;
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2015-December/148452.html

And since I did respin that patch before you replied there, this is now
moot. At that time, that patch did not appear on Pathwork when I wanted
to mark it reject. I guess it is now marked Rejected in Patchwork? ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
