Hrm, I've managed to find a *single* copy mixed in with a revert
as part of a huge series (it was almost 70 patches) with no cover
letter that got copied to me - I think what happened here is that
this looked like this was something where you'd done a revert and
then dropped that revert (which was what things I'd heard from
other sources suggested was what was going on with that series).
I'd certainly have expected to get a standalone patch submission
or other communication for something that was entirely new code,
and if you're not getting review for new code like this that
isn't super urgent I'd expect some attempts to get it before
bypassing.

This sort of stuff is not great, especially when half of what you
were doing was to address bad practice on the part of the UMN
people - I would have really expected any completely new changes
like these that came up to be sent as new patches through the
normal process rather than mixed in with what look like
mechanical, treewide changes.  It's a recipe for things getting
missed, as I said in followup to the copy of the patch I found
there's some issues with the rt5645 changes.  On rechecking
everything the only issue I actually spotted with any of that
code (use of devm at the component level, which realistically is
at worst very minor) is not fixed by the additional patch.
