Hi Linus,

we're not talking about a driver here - we're talking about a new API
lifted from a driver to generic code because it's commonly useful.

It's also in entirely new files and not a modification of existing code,
and it's always been clear how it is.  Some of the code has been in
since Linux 4.5 with a properly clear copyright.

I really don't understand Doug's objection, and as said if they have
a weird problem with it we can simply move it to a separate module.
