I understand your position, being a band-aidmaintainer without direct business interest is not a sustainable solutionfor the MUX subsystem long term. That said, this patch has now been blocked for more than 6 months, and we are looking for a way to get it upstream. Since you mentioned you have picked MUX patches before and routed them through the SoC tree to Greg, would you bewilling to do the same here? It would unblock us while the question of active MUX maintainership is sorted out separately. +Cc: Geert, Philipp, Ulf Geert, what is your take on this? Would you prefer to route it through your tree instead, or do you think Krzysztof picking it via the SoC tree makes more sense? I believe it is better handled by the experts in that area, P Zabel, Ulf, Geert, and others. Thanks to both of you for considering this. Kind Regards, Tommaso > > Best regards, > Krzysztof >
