    Thank your for your time and reply.

    If this patch set is merged into the linux-next tree, I will send the
    third patch which targets at linux-next tree and converts existing users
    at later timer of this release cycle. Because there are new users that
    may use the old APIs comes into linux-next tree during the remaining time
    of this release cycle.

    Best regards,
    Duoming Zhou
