According to the maintainer list, this would be Len and Bjorn.
Hence...
Len and Bjorn,
any chances to include the patches in 3.7? I checked them
against 3.6 and they applied without any change. Or should
I resend them individually?
Thanks.

Hi Len, hello Bjorn,
the patches submitted in https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/29/85 have
not been objected by anyone, make the code simpler, and fix a
current problem when using the "/sys/bus/pnp/devices/*/resources"
interface. I have been running them since at least Linux 3.0,
with adapted changes in previous versions. I have not seen any
regressions and I do not expect any regressions from these
patches.
Bjorn had reviewed them and I am wondering what I can do to have
them included in (one of) the next Linux kernel(s).
If there is any information that you need before an inclusion is
possible, just let me know.
