Well, it did touch the same driver, and your patch set kept evolving so
I chose to focus on just one of your patch sets at a time there...

I'll take a look now.

Well, this represents a bad community mentality, where people have time
to submit plenty of code for their own drivers, and ask a lot from
maintainers to review and merge their code, yet they do not have any
time to review others' work. I believe that bearing the sole
responsibility of code review is a major contributing factor in both
Artem's and my long latency to merging patches.

That said, I understand that people get very busy sometimes, and I don't
mean to particularly focus on you, Huang. This is a general pattern that
I've seen, and I have done the same thing previously, where I simply did
not have (and did not make) time to review others' work much.
