We sent three patch series that have not been taken into staging-next due to the merge window. I tried looking for the commit id you mention (if it is one), but no luck in any common repo on git.kernel.org. Also I don't see a 3.1-rc1 tag yet. I suspect we have to resend all three patch series once 3.1-rc1 is ready and available in Greg's staging repo. At least the patches have been on the mailing list long enough for people to provide us with comments. I already saw some of our source files mentioned in the merge of staging-next branch by Linus so I already had my suspicions regarding the patch series. Gr.
