Jisheng,

some git basics, so you get a better idea of the merge process:

Please do not base your patches on linux-next. It is not a stable branch
I can refer to. Also, if there was any dependency with another feature
that your patches require, you should mention that dependency by
pointing out either a floating patch set or even better a _stable_
topic branch of the feature that will be added in the same cycle you
expect your patches to be merged.

AFAIKS, there is no dependency at all so please just base them on -rc1
(No need to resend, I can take care of it).

Anyway, I am fine with the series and it has been out for a while now.
I pick it up, let is set on linux-next for a while and send out a
topic PR at the end of the week.

Thanks!

Sebastian
