Yes, lots of people pick unfortunate subject lines for DT patches - that
doesn't mean it's good.  I'm looking to see spi: same as for all other
SPI patches.

I do edit some percentage of patches, but some do slip through for
various reasons.  There's also some things that just get completely
missed, especially if there isn't also a code patch nearby.
