Hi zhangqiumiao,

I don't think it was intentional. There were times my patch was
overlooked as well. With the mailing list constantly flooded with new
patches every day, it's possible that it simply got buried and went
unnoticed. In such cases, resending the patch might help remind the
maintainer.

Unfortunately I overlooked yours fix in the mailing list as well when
trying to solved the reported issue (and coincidently that was reported
on a huawei system too).

Anyway, Let's ping Daniel if he can help to drop mine and commit yours.

Hi Daniel,

Could you please help on that ? 

Thanks,
Michael
