Well ... 6 more months have passed without any response.  During that
time I've resent the patch series 3 times.

Unfortunately, I just don't have the knowledge to do that.  I am not at
all experienced with kernel development, nor do I have any knowledge of
interrupt context code or Devicetree, which are the subject of the vast
majority of patches to that subsystem.

(I don't want to be more specific, because I'm not trying to "name &
shame" anyone.  I'm sure that the people who work on this particular
subsystem are simply overwhelmed.)

Is there anything else that I can do?  Should I just give up at this
point?
