What I'm saying is... don't expect me to always review patches that
are for fixing code that other people have contributed - I wish those
who introduce regressions would stick around and attend to breakage
that they cause, instead of hoping that someone else will do that
for them. It's a reasonable ask.

Thanks - I'll get around to it in due course. Since I'm no longer
supported as 32-bit ARM maintainer, I only apply patches once or maybe
twice per kernel release. Quite how long this will be sustainable for,
I've no idea (it depends whether I get any actual paying work, and
how much.)
