Not sure if I just wasn't paying attention yesterday or if I'm grumpier
this morning, but that "RISC-V-fixes: " prefix is just a bit too odd --
I know we've got a split between "RISC-V" and "riscv" so maybe it
doesn't matter, but even that is kind of ugly.
I re-wrote it, but I'm going to let it round trip through linux-next so
I'll send it up next time.
Sorry, I know this happened twice recently but I'll try not to make a
habit of it.
