If I apply Jassi's patch to rproc-next, we'll end up with the same patch with
two different SHA1s in two different trees, something that is not compatible
with the linux-next process.  To avoid this kind of situation we work with pull
requests, which doesn't change the patch's SHA1.

Since preparing a pull request takes time that Jassi may not have, I provided my
R-B for your patch, allowing him to merge it in his mailbox tree.
