    Dev investigates and submits patch for known issue affecting him

    Maintainer implements different approach saying: “Rather than trying to make the TS_FPR() macro even more complicated to fix the bug, or add more macros, instead add a special-case for 32-bit kernels. This is more obvious and hopefully avoids a similar bug happening again in future.”

    Dev does not show any other correspondence with maintainer, but paraphrases maintainer as saying: “Sorry, I like my version better. If you want to be a Linux kernel contributor, here’s an issue you could fix.”
