The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >>From 2891d4feae7c2cf0a56d84bf38519aae6c5060b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2018 10:29:57 +0200 Subject: Revert "ARM: amba: Fix race condition with driver_override" This reverts commit 6b614a87f3f477571e319281e84dba11e0ea0a76.
