I don't mind, as long as it compiles (using you tag), and it does, the
patch doesn't break anything. From the linux-can and David Miller's net
point of view, v3.7 is closed for new features just bug fixes are
allowed. But I'm open to make an exception, if UAPI hits mainline in
v3.7 on most subsystems. Hopefully David sees it the same way.
