There are many people who build on non-x86 every day, there are rather less people who have the bandwidth for -mm as well as current git or for tracking down changes that haven't made it upstream to make sure everything plays nice.
If you want immediate action, I suggest you CC the authors of the drivers when there's changes they should be made aware of, rather than deferring to hand-waving generalizations about how no one does any testing after the fact. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
