Re: [PATCH 00/23] Analog connector support in DC (v2)

["Timur Kristóf" <timur.kristof@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Did you guys manage to include the series in last week's promotion?
Are there any issues?

I'd really like it to be included in Linux 6.18, are we still on time 
for that?

Thanks & best regards,
Timur
