I know what the maintainer load can be, sometimes it does not play well with the rest of the your personal and professional duties. But the series has already been on the list for about 8 months, it's been looked at by other people, the ones who had enough time to dedicate to it. From my perspective, asking such contributions to wait indefinitely and then suggesting partial application without a technical reason is not a sustainable way to handle contributions. This series has not moved much, it could have been applied *much* earlier. I've now addressed most of the comments from Sashiko, v6 is coming, further improving the quality for sure, as there were bugs - there are always. I am of course happy to address further technical concerns, if there are any, but I would strongly prefer merging the series as the coherent set it was intended to be, rather than only taking the preparatory parts. On top of that, as mentioned previously, I now have additional spi-nor improvements and cleanups waiting behind this series. Keeping such a large stack of out of tree patches for months is becoming painful to maintain. Thanks, Miqu=C3=A8l
