    Yeah, so far there is no plan. I'm not really sure who's attention I
    need to get or how to get it.

    Understood.

    Yes, a couple of patches have already been taken by their maintainers
    over the last few cycles.

    Yup! If you can take the powerpc patches I can keep trying to get the
    rest in. They are largely independent and shouldn't really change
    anything without the following patches.

    Essentially, yes, but patch 5 depends on it seeing it's changing the
    same area and is trying to avoid creating the same kbuild warnings that
    patch 1 suppresses.

    Thanks for the tip! I'll copy him when I repost it after the merge window.
