Hmm looks like you should resend all your pending four patches
properly with the people mentioned above in Cc to the LAKML
and linux-omap.. Assuming something will happen to them when
the patches are buried into a middle of some old threads does
not work well.. Best to just follow das protokoll und whine and
follow up until the patches get merged :)

Tony
