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/2017/1/13/626
Yes, 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?

Anyway, this wouldn't be *the things* Thierry mentioned.
Probably not, I did not respond to Thierry's feedback.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
