Hi Jamal.
Yes I looked over their patches. Roopas patche's are about new class of
device which, as I commented in the cover letter, I left out for now and
can be safely added later on.
I went over the Ben's work very carefully as well. The patches are very
rough, mostly rtl-chip specific. But again, my patchset is a base on
which this patches can be build on. I see no issues in that.

Since I did not use their code now, I only put sign off of Scott.

I do think that we are in sync. I do not see any counter ways. As I
said, their work can be added on to the base made of this patchset.
