Sure.  But do you mean the riscv-linux-4.15 at the github repo or
Linus's linux-4.15-rc......,says, rc8?

Also, we have fixed our internal email server issue, so I will send this
v4 set using alankao@andestech.com, by which I signed off all previous
ftrace patches, instead of the current gmail one.  I hope this won't be
confusing to you.
