Hi Anrd,

Thank you very much for your kind help. You explained it so well,
I have understood the process. We got a lot of suggestions for this
patchset, and there are a lot of issues to fix. When most of the
problems get solved and acknowledged by the reviewers, I will
add you and soc@kernel.org to Cc.


Best regards,

Jacky Huang
