I thought it to be a mistyped "CONFIG", I was wrong.

OK it might annoying but still I cannot understand why this is a reason to
lament.  I don't necessarily feel part of the intended audience for each
patch on LAKML that contains mx2 in it's subject, still less if the
patch changes very little in arch/arm/{plat-mxc,arch-mx*} as Baruch's
patch does.  Now he cc:d me and I had a look and even took the time to
point out the things that I noticed.  From my POV a late reviewer is
better than getting code in that is less optimal.  And let me point out
that reviewing sequentially is more efficient in the sum---at least for
the reviewers.

So should I ignore patches that are say already > v3?

Best regards
Uwe
