 From what I have understood Qualcomm has one finger constantly
on the fast-forward button for upstreaming right now, which I think
is good (everyone should have!) but the limited number of trusted
maintainers of core infrastructure code makes bottlenecks form
around these drivers where review is really needed and deep queues
of patches form. Sorry.

That's one of the reasons why I prefer v5 of my patch instead of v7.  v5
does not touch the core.  It's much less intrusive and has no risk of
breaking other drivers.  I can't say that about v7.

The more intrusive design is on my request so I will look at it in detail
ASAP. I took a quick look and liked what I saw, I just need to make
sure about the details. Also it'd be nice to have a nod from Bj?rn.

The main reason for some of the work is ACPI, am I right?

Timur could you look quickly at the series posted by Andy Shevchenko
(6 patches prefixed gpiolib: acpi: ) for augmenting ACPI GPIOs in the core?
Especially patch 5 and 6 which introduce the ability to add quirks in the
core.

I'd like to get some ARM-based people to look at it to make sure we
those systems can also quirk their GPIOs if need be.

Yours,
