Just wait. I'll apply it to my tree and send a reminder to Wim at some point.
Usually Wim is pretty good at picking things up himself, though.

Of course, fun part in this case is that I actually submitted a patch
to remove this driver ;-). Not as bad as it sounds - reason was that
the w83627hf driver now supports the w83697hf as well, and the w83697hf
driver is thus redundant. I can understand Wim if he wants to keep
the driver around for a while, though.
