Dear "Steven A. Falco",
In message 493EC1F8.7080107@harris.com you wrote:
The problem is that if it isn't accepted now, nobody is likely to remember that it is available, and so they will have to re-write it. Also, it will suffer from bit-rot, if just left as a loose patch.
It will bit-rot as well if it's added - if no configuration enables it it will not even be compiled.
I recommend you keep it in your queue, and submit it again with the board that will actually use it.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least
one instruction - from which, by induction, one can deduce that every
program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.
