I only see input from Andy and Lars in the thread you point out, nothing from
Greg.  I have also taken a look at the patch [1] that made checkpatch complain
about ENOTSUPP.  From what I see in that commit log the goal is to prevent new
additions of ENOTSUPP to the kernel.

Please modify and resend, otherwise I'm sure someone will send another patch to
fix it before the end of the cycle.

Thanks,
Mathieu
