The only reason I added a PRELIMINARY tag was because these DTS changes should go in after the driver changes and dt-bindings.DTS cannot go after the driver changes. If that is your requirement, then original work is broken and needs to be fixed.I should have worded it better. I am only worried about the dt-bindings going in before this DTS. The driver changes just add support for whatever we are desribing in this series, they can go in after dt-bindings and DTS without any issues....would it be preferable to instead have the split like this? - This series + dt-bindings (on top of linux-next) - Only driver changes from [1] (for net-next)
No, because it would be against explicit documented rules in the kernel and against clear guidelines and recent discussions within Qualcomm. I wonder why did we have these long discussions about Shikra if only a few people were listening and the rest will be repeating the same broken process as before? Best regards, Krzysztof
