Who is supposed to pick up this patch series (or point out a good reason for not taking it)? Best regards Uwe

Previously Greg KH picked up MC bus patches. If no one is picking up them this time, I probably can take it through the fsl soc tree. Regards, Leo

I guess Greg won't pick up this series as he didn't get a copy of it :-) Browsing through the history of drivers/bus/fsl-mc there is no consistent maintainer to see. So if you can take it, that's very appreciated. Best regards Uwe

Either you didn't apply this patch set yet, or your tree isn't in next. Both variants would be great to be fixed. I have another change pending for drivers/bus/fsl-mc/fsl-mc-bus.c, would be great to see these base patches in next first. Best regards Uwe
