Hi Pantelis,

what's the state of this patch? I'll need it for some work I plan to
merge for 4.5 as well, so getting it into a stable repository we could
both base off would be nice.

Talking about that, I'd be happy to volunteer maintaining a configfs
tree as the current split over -mm and the target tree seem a bit
painful now that development activity for configfs has picked up.

Any progress on having a stable non-reabse branch for this? My offer to
just do it myself still stands, btw!

It’s on my TODO list for the holiday break.

It is not dropped, just /me swamped.

I'm happy to take over the patch, but the real important part is
to have in a shared repository where you and I can use it. For that
we'll need a real configfs git tree.

I have two fixes in the topic/overlays branch of renesas-drivers.git:

configfs: Fix reading empty binary attributes
of: configfs: Use %zu to format size_t

Does thus mean you already have the patch queued up for Linus?

No, this is just my local branch containing overlay support, published for
other people who want to use DT overlays.
