Sorry, it seemed satraightforward to me, and I try to get the backlog under 40 patches before
I hand over to Jakub for the day.
If you want to review, reply to the thread immediately saying so, don't wait until you haver time for the
full review.
Thank you.

Day by day, it seems like there is more and more of this PTP driver
stuff. Maybe it is time for me to manage a separate PTP driver tree.
I could get the reviews and acks, then place a PR to netdev or lkml
when ready.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard
My perception is that you also like to sleep at nights, and cannot
keep up with David rapid pace. So setting up your own tree, collecting
reviews and acks yourself will help you and the quality of the PTP
code. So yes, go for it. I just think it is wrong you have to do
this.

I agree that PTP drivers are being merged too quickly without enough
review, and my commitment to maintaining a PTP tree will both allow
better review and reduce davem's burden.
So maybe it is right for me to do this after all.
Thanks,
Richard
