Why the rush? The behaviour of the cros_ec_cmd_xfer() function has not changed in at least a year, so this can't be very urgent. I merged the original patch because it is a dependency for another patch, but given the above I think it's fine if we wait until after v4.8-rc1 and let subsystem maintainers pick them up individually. On another note, the commit message makes it sound like this might fix potential bugs. Since it's been like that for a couple of releases, do we need to Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org? Thierry
