What's it with the blank lines?

Anyway, are you all really caring about riscv on a 5.4.y kernel?  Last I
checked, the riscv maintainers said not to even use that kernel for that
architecture.  Do you all have real boards that care about this kernel
tree that you are insisting on keeping alive?  Why not move them to a
newer LTS kernel?

thanks,
