I pulled, but quite frankly, I don't want to see this kind of pull request again. There's just no _point_.
I'll take new drivers outside the merge window, but there has to be some _reason_ for them. See the whole SCSI discussion a few merge windows ago. The new driver needs to improve the life of somebody to the point where I want to feel that there is a _reason_ for pulling it outside the merge window.
These drivers? Not so much. Not even f*cking close.
In other words: tell me why the new drivers couldn't just have waited for the next merge window? Really?
