Hellwig is the maintainer of the DMA subsystem. Hellwig previously blocked rust bindings for DMA code, which in part resulted in Hector Martin from stepping down as a kernel maintainer and eventually Asahi Linux as a whole.

If anyone spoke to me like that at work, I would quit. Which is exactly what has happened.

Nobody in that thread quit because of the way Linus talked. If was because of the way they were talking to each other.

They quit because other people spoke to them that way under Linus' absent leadership.
