Hi Bjorn,

This patch has been acked and unchanged for weeks. Is it possible
to
get this pulled into next? We have SIOV and CXL related work that
is
using these definitions. Thanks.

I acked it because I expected you to merge it along with the rest of
the series.

I guess I could merge this patch via the PCI tree if you really want,
but that ends up being a hassle because we have to worry about which
order things get merged to Linus' tree. Better if the whole series
is
merged via the same tree.

Agreed. The hope is that this series is ready for the next merge window
but no ack yet on V8. And if the series does not make it I'd like this
patch to at least get in.

If Bjorn is happy to take this patch so late in the release cycle then
please go ahead. The other patches are due for v5.11.

I agree (that the other patches are for 5.11) talking about merging
this series patch 2 is a mfd patch and patches 3-5 are drivers/platform/x86
patches.

Lee, FYI I'm taking over drivers/platform/x86 maintainership from Andy.

I suggest that we merge the entire series through a single tree
(with acks or reviewed-by-s from the other maintainer)
either through the mfd tree or through the drivers/platform/x86
tree. Since most changes are in drivers/platform/x86 the latter
probably makes more sense, but either way works for me.
So how would you like to proceed with this series ?

Regards,

Hans
