Okay, but then mention so in the patch description (which is rather
short in this revision).

Yes, I have many patches to start cleaning these up, as well as all the
broken kerneldoc comments, but it's an uphill battle.  Not sure if I'll
get to it any time soon if at all.

Thanks, that seems to be the most common format.

Thanks, but do discuss with Abhinav/Dmitry which series will land first.

Ack, that makes sense.  However, is this a guarantee that nothing else
will write INTF_CONFIG2 in the future, or will we solve that problem
when it happens?  I'm afraid more config-bits get added to this register
in the future and might possibly race/overwrite each other.
