I see that this patch series is still marked Deferred:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20200731024607.5817-2-yhchuang@realtek.com/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20200731024607.5817-3-yhchuang@realtek.com/

and I'm still rebasing these patches in my tree. I realize the docs
say "the maintainer will revisit the patch in a later time":
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches#checking_state_of_patches_from_patchwork
but I figured 4-5 months might be long enough to wait ;)

Was there something controversial about this patch set that makes it
difficult? Or should it get moved back to New? Or do Realtek folks
need to rebase/resubmit/

Thanks,
Brian
