Yes, but the changelog is atrcious:

- title should describe the purpose, not the implementation

- CPU is spelled 'CPU' once, then 'cpu' _in the same sentence_!

- typos

- spelling

- the last sentence doesn't even parse ...

Still it's already at V4 and comes with two signoffs and what amounts to a
maintainer Ack??

Thanks,

Ingo
