I'm looking through the backlog for any missing fixes that should still make it into -rc1 or -rc2. Just a few more points to add from my end: - I had in the past always trusted platform maintainers to only send pull requests when they felt the contents had spent enough time in linux-next already, but I did not have any scripting to ensure this was done correctly. - I see that only a few of the patches in the branch got applied during the fineal days before the merge window, while the rest had been part of next-20260330 or earlier. Aside from just sending the bulk of the contents earlier, I think the best solution on Neil's side would have been to send two separate pull requests, for the earlier and the later contents respectively, even if sending them on the same day - I see that some of the late commits are clear bugfixes that we should still merge as soon as possible. Neil, can you go through the branch and send another PR for anything that qualifies as a bugfix? While by now it's clearly too late for any of the new features, there is no need to delay those any further. Arnd
