Right, I've had enough. I'm removing your patch from the MFD tree.

I've asked too many people to give you a second chance and asked you
privately to behave yourself and treat others with respect. So far I
haven't seen an ounce of self control or depomacy from you.

This is how it's going to work from now on:

- You submit a patch
- It gets reviewed <----\
- You fix up the review comments as requested -----/
- Non-compliance or arguments with the _experts_ results in:
`$INTEREST > /dev/null || \
grep "From: Laszio Papp" ~/.mail | xargs rm -rf`
