Hi Zheng,

If you asking me to merge patch, sorry but I can't, I'm just a reviewer. 
I invite you to ping the maintainers directly:

Bin Liu <bin.liu at mediatek.com> (supporter:MEDIATEK JPEG DRIVER)
Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab at kernel.org> (maintainer:MEDIA INPUT 
INFRASTRUCTURE (V4L/DVB))
Matthias Brugger <matthias.bgg at gmail.com> (maintainer:ARM/Mediatek SoC 
support)

Otherwise, I misunderstood what you asking me. If so, can you rephrase 
your question please?

Regards,
Alexandre
