I sent two patches for these yesterday, and Vincent also sent these
already,

An old one, Jonathan Cameron said he'd send this one for 4.11-rc2,
but it has not appeared in linux-next yet.

Jonathan, any update?

Hans Verkuil said he'd take care of this if he remembers.

I have patches, but it's tricky. Expect a long set of patches in the next

a long-standing issue.
