The suggestion to the rejected patch was passed onto the related FW
team, and the "technical argument" was our FW team's response to the
suggestion which I relayed to the list. At this point, there's no
closure on whether the device will get NOIOB.

My point in bringing up this example was a one-line, highly-
maintainable patch which improves the performance of Linux should not
have been immediatedly NAK'ed as it was. If you believe it should have,
we'll agree to disagree.
