Sure, that would be great!

Hi Ricard,

I am using the previous version of your patch on Netlogic XLP MIPS64
platform with some cleanups, some of them are mentioned by Borris.
I can send you the patch if you would like to integrate it.

Thanks,

The patch is intended to apply to the mtd l2 tree, and I did check 
MAINTAINERS, however, for whatever reason I failed to notice that the NAND 
flash subsystem has its own entry (going for the general MTD entry), so 
both you and Richard got left off the CC list. Sorry about that. I'll 
rectify it on subsequent patch submissions.

Ok. Will do.

Much appreciated.

Hi Ricard,

I was not in Cc of this series, so you're either developing an old
kernel version, or you didn't check the MAINTAINERS file (or didn't run
get_maintainer.pl on your series). And please, next time make sure
patches 1 to X are sent in replies to your cover letter.

I'll to review the driver soon.
