I'm sorry, but I wasn't aware that this was an urgent patch. I'm doing this
as a hobbyist and I'm working on my own pace as I cannot always spend time
working on kernel maintenance.

I'm usually collecting patches from patchwork [1] for review and then merge
them in batches if they're fine.

What I don't understand, why did you choose to use an immutable tree? Is th=
ere
really a need for such an escalation? I find that a bit rude. The v2 patch =
series
was sent first in May, so I didn't think this was already a long time.

Thanks,
Adrian
