Thanks. Apparently you or someone else has already updated the status
of all the other patches.

Yes, it would be good. Also, Fatih, could you have a look at Peter's
patches, and give your Acked-by/Reviewed-by as appropriate?

Resend it to the list, after updating it to the latest master. Make
sure you change the patch version by doing:

git send-email --subject-prefix="PATCH v2"

and by including a changelog either in the patch itself below the "---"
sign, or in the cover letter.

See
http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_patch_revision_changelog
for more details.

Yes, but make sure to change the subject prefix to include a version
number, and include a changelog in the cover letter.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
