just now acks have completed coming in for this series of ports of earlier Linux commits. This all targets newer hardware which of course we'd like to properly support with 4.17. Unfortunately the series was kind of lost with all the security work which had been ongoing. Therefore I'd like to ask (in part also motivated by Andrew to do so) that you consider still allowing in this series. In the (I think) not very likely case of problems (first and foremost because of the changes coming from Linux, rather than being homegrown) people always have the option of simply turning off the use of this driver on their systems. Thanks, Jan
