I know that commit sets a precedence by having a horribly short and
uninformative commit message, but please write a proper one for this
commit and explain why you are restoring the option.  Also if anything
changed since last year.

Hi Christoph,

A possible approach is that I drop this patch from this patch series and
that I let the F2FS maintainers restore write hint support in F2FS.

Thanks,

Bart.

I'm not saying you should drop it.  Just that it should have a useful
commit message.
