Hi Shahed,
This patch has been sent same day of the RC3, very close to the actual release,
and updating data path of the driver, so not a trivial patch.
Although I tend to accept driver patches late in process this one was too late,
you won't have proper time to fix if any errors detected, but also I can see it
has a good amount performance effect.
I would like to explicitly ask if you are willing to take the risk. If answer is
yes, please also be sure to get Rasesh's ack.
Thanks,
ferruh
