Ya, with the reply bits in there my mail merge (which unfortunately isn't
b4, I haven't gotten around to converting yet) got tripped up. It's kind of
easy to for me to screw something up trying to pull bits out of replies and
such, but I think this one was pretty simple (looks like maybe some PGP or
MIME thing was the issue).

I just put <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/palmer/linux.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=7699f7aacf3ebfee51c670b6f796b2797f0f7487>
on my staging branch, it looks OK to me but LMK if there's a problem.

there is indeed a problem, but caused by me: If you are ready to rewrite
it, please do s/week/weak/ in the subject line. Otherwise looks good to
me.

Ah, sorry, I missed that too. I was hoping to send a PR this morning, I'd usually just rewrite and delay this one but given it's necessary to make the post-merge build work I'm going to just send it up with the spelling error.


Best regards and thanks,
Uwe
