Yes, I was planning to do so. Just thought a preliminary notice would be in order...

Oh, I overlooked your mail before submitting that Linux 5.15.32 patch. Sorry.

Arne working on a kernel was also my impression, but with a look at people/arne_f/kernel.git
and people/arne_f/ipfire-2.x.git, I did not find anything I could pick up. So I thought I
do a kernel update to once in a while, trying to reduce the bus factor on this end. :-)

I will wait until Monday for his reply then, and merge it if no negative feedback arrives until then.

Thanks, and best regards,
