Hey, that's not what I meant. Sorry for the silly language. I'm the last one to argue in favour of a single big diff. But all the driver fixes are easily separatable, in fact benh probably still has all the individual diffs for all the mac drivers.
What I meant is that the FB maintainer should try to get the existing fixes merged before adding dubious features.
