Dear Thierry, Could you please review this patch?Thierry, I think this patch has been reviewed enough but no comment from you. Seems you are busy. I will pick up this.Comments from v8 were not resolved and I think we are waiting for v9: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/11/178 If that is not correct then please clarify.Seems you pointed to change te-gpios bindings to optional. right? I thought Rob left ack so it's no problem. https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/13/626Yes, change them to optional. I think it is a problem (regardless of Rob's ack) because you are merging a driver requiring a property which soon you want to remove. If you merge it (like this) removal of te-gpios property will be breakage of ABI. This is not a serious problem but knowing such plan of te-gpios removal upfront, it would be wrong to commit such driver.This is a trivial thing so it doesn't make breakage of ABI because the property, te-gpios, is *optional*.So why bindings document is not changed?
Seems Hoegeun missed this. I also think it should specify *te-gpios is optional property* like mipi-dsi binding document did but this doesn't breakage of ABI you mentioned. And I'd like to say we should feel ABI breakage is a serious problem. Sad to say, Exynos is already broken like Marek declared. This is really a serious problem Exynos maintainers have to fix including you and me. Thanks, Inki Dae
+Required properties: (...) + - te-gpios: a GPIO spec for the tearing effect synchronization signal + gpio pin (active high) Andrzej pointed this out and it is not fixed since then. What is the problem with fixing the bindings documentation?quoted
Anyway, this wouldn't be *the things* Thierry mentioned.Probably not, I did not respond to Thierry's feedback. Best regards, Krzysztof
