The same answer I got for the report/testing of [1], it is still not
in mainline.
Yes, I have seen your pull-request for char-misc-linus of today, but
why does this takes weeks to apply?

*** Why don't you treat (reported and tested) regressions with a
higher priority? ***
This has nothing to do with patience! You steal other people's time!
Hitting other regressions while doing bisecting is really no fun.
( ...and [GIT-PULL] requests are cheap... or do you really think we
will wait until you emptied your inbox? )

It makes me angry to fell over and over the same sh*t.

The consequence is...

        CONFIG_INTEL_MEI=n

Test your code by yourself!

In your endless time you will find a minute to apply [2] as well (sarcasm off).
