Deepak: I'm now (at least) the third person to tell you to stop resending this entire series over and over again.
First, a modified version of the CFI v23 series was ALREADY SITTING IN LINUX-NEXT. So there's no reason you should be resending the entire series, UNLESS your intention for me is to drop the entire existing series and wait for another merge window.
Second: when someone asks you questions about an individual patch, and you want to answer those questions, it's NOT GOOD for you to resend the entire 28 series as the response! You are DDOSing a bunch of lists and E-mail inboxes. Just answer the question in a single E-mail. If you want to update a single patch, just send that one patch.
If you don't start paying attention to these rules then people are going to start ignoring you -- at best! -- and it's going to give the entire community a bad reputation.
Please acknowledge that you understand this,
