I apologize if my message was harsh or sounded rude. That was not my
intention.

I understand that patches soometimes got missed. That's life. This patch
here is quite simple, non-intrusive, got independent ack. Also in the
past SoC-specific drivers were sometimes going through SoC tree (so in
this case - mine for Samsung).  Patch also blocks the dependant DT
change (for entire cycle). Therefore I guessed that it won't be a
problem and it is just simpler to apply it.

If it is an issue, I can drop it and rebase my branch.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
