So that would put your series out another week. 22 patches and 400+ insertions. That's a lot of churn for rc4, and while the changes are indeed fixes and not new features, the whole thing still looks like a regular merge window driver update to me. This series really should have been posted before the 4.15 merge window opened. However, the first iteration of this series was posted after rc1 was out. I'm terribly sorry, but that's just too late for something this size. I queued everything up for 4.16. -- Martin K. Petersen Oracle Linux Engineering
