It isn't January anymore :)

The patch was sent on Feb 4, I would expect that to be close enough. Does this
need to be the month of the kernel release it is merged into instead?

That's usually best, but at least the month the patch was sent in is
good.

Also I notice there's no "who is responsible for this" entry here.

I do not understand what you mean by "how it was started".

How?  This should be very firmware specific.

The original patch was specific to a particular SoC vendor. Since the
information provided here is fairly generic in the end, I asked for
the interface
to be generalized to the point that it can be reused across multiple
vendors and architectures.

Ok, and is that what this interface provides?

thanks,
