Hi Dan,

Thanks for the heads up. We sent three patch series that have not been 
taken into staging-next  due to the merge window. I tried looking for 
the commit id you mention (if it is one), but no luck in any common repo 
on git.kernel.org. Also I don't see a 3.1-rc1 tag yet.

I suspect we have to resend all three patch series once 3.1-rc1 is ready 
and available in Greg's staging repo. At least the patches have been on 
the mailing list long enough for people to provide us with comments. I 
already saw some of our source files mentioned in the merge of 
staging-next branch by Linus so I already had my suspicions regarding 
the patch series.

Gr. AvS
