Hi Jens,

Copied, send patches _before_ merge window opens.

But could you please to give me a hint, how can I find when a specific
merge window will open ? I search LKML, and see people send pull
requests for 4.14 merge window, but I don't see any announcement for
4.14 merge window time slot.

I see. There is one more patch should be in 4.14, it is OK for code, the
original author asks me to help him to compose a better commit log. I am
about to send this patch to you today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the hint.
