Subject: Is NFC subsystem abandoned?

Hi!

I have sent couple of versions against couple of drivers in NFC
subsystem (drivers part) and heard nothing in response from subsystem
maintainers.

Is the subsystem abandoned?

Whom should I send my patches? (There are more anticipated)

Should I escalate to Linus?

Hi Andy,

It's not abandoned. I just got swamped for the past 3 months but things
are slowing down now.
I'll go through my patches backlog during the next 10 days.

Apologies for the delays.

Cheers,
Samuel.

Threats of "escalating" are never effective, please never do
this.

Thanks for a hint.

Can't promise for "never", but will try to avoid them.

I was being afraid that it may be the case like with MTD or PWM where we
missed few releases because of non-responsive maintainers at that time.
