Sorry, but I'm satisfied with what I've done and I didn't do it just to get "something" into the kernel. I don't need my patches to become part of in the kernel, I can handle them by myself. And my free resources to submit patches just became exhausted (again). Maybe in some weeks or month ..., I don't know.
