No, it doesn't make sense. There's no atmel_hlcdc_layer_update_commit call
anywhere, and no such function. You seem to have some further changes that
are not even in -next. Where am I getting those changes and why are they
not upstream yet?

There's a mention of the missing function here [1], but that's some 18
months ago. What's going on?
