Re: [PATCH v2 0/4] New Microsemi PCI Switch Management Driver

[Logan Gunthorpe]

Hi Bjorn,

Can you give us an idea of when you might be able to comment on our
patchset? We've addressed all the outstanding issues and have a couple
of reviewed and tested tags. So we'd like to see this move forward as
soon as possible.

I can do a respin with the tags collected or address any concerns you
may have, just please let us know.

Thanks,

Logan
