I interpret "NAK" as a request to stop working on the patch. I assumed
you wanted this for process reasons, since I didn't specifically address
your review of the reset sequence for 3 revisions (v2-v4). I can't go
back and follow the submission process differently.

Original complaint (https://lore.kernel.org/r/ff9d571a-9b47-4f39-8589-d4c7b190d3bd@kernel.org):

I already told you this at v1 and you ignored the problem and never
responded.

NAK

The path forward is usually to give up, or keep the NAK and hope that
the other maintainers accept the patch anyway. I see 17 cases of the
latter since the kernel started using Git until v6.19-rc1.

Ok, I will remove the Nacked-by in the next revision unless you
communicate that you actually want work on this patch to stop.
