 From what I have understood Qualcomm has one finger constantly

is good (everyone should have!) but the limited number of trusted
maintainers of core infrastructure code makes bottlenecks form
around these drivers where review is really needed and deep queues
of patches form. Sorry.

That's one of the reasons why I prefer v5 of my patch instead of v7.  v5 
does not touch the core.  It's much less intrusive and has no risk of 
breaking other drivers.  I can't say that about v7.
