I think I sent info how to apply it. But as I have not received any
reply even after reminding, how should I have know it?

Yea, for USB it was Merlijn. He wrote me that would reply later to this
thread. This thread started about video and not USB, so there is just
big mix of things and I forgot about what we are talking here...

Ok, so I will resend patches. When would you have a time to review these
patches? I do not want again to repeat situation that I will send a
patch and after half of year I get reply that it does not apply on
master and rebasing is needed. So please let me know when you would have
a time for review of N900 so I would send patches at correct timing
without need from my side to rebase and rebase patches again and
again... because this is really annoying for me and also wasting of time
... and it happened with more N900 patch in last 2 years.
