If you would prefer me to take this into the tile tree, let me know,
and I am happy to do so.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your kind offer. I am a 100% genuine true-blue kernel
newbie and have no idea whether a change like this should be merged
individually by each arch maintainer, or all together at some point
upstream (or is it downstream? I'm not sure about my streams). Do you
have any suggestion?
Thank you again! AD
I think James Hogan's replies were on-target [1]. My sense is that
since it's a cleanup, and since you're trying for consistency, if you
can gather up a few Acked-by's from maintainers, it probably makes sense
to have it taken as a series.
