That's a lot of patches. Review is thin and I expect this won't improve a lot. Lots of "no functional changes" changes. Perhaps it would be helpful if you were to identify those patches which you'd like to see reviewers focus on? > 1153 insertions(+), 582 deletions(-) It's funny how often cleanup patches do this. All queued up, thanks. _______________________________________________ linux-riscv mailing list linux-riscv@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-riscv
