Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 00/17] Improve generic string routines
Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2023 18:56:17 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e9655043-0253-5906-6db3-158076e49cc0@linaro.org> (raw)

Unfortunately no one worked on reviewing it.  It would be good to have
it for 2.37, although I think it is too late.  However, since most
architectures do use arch-specific routines, I think the possible disruption
of using this patchset should be minimal.
