I suggested to add "Must be called in process context." to the kdoc for
devm_atomic_notifier_chain_register() as this is a relevant difference
to atomic_notifier_chain_register() and create an immutable branch for
it as a base for subsystems to apply their follow-up patches. I'd wait
till Wednesday for concerns and review tags to tickle in.

I think this is a good approach, but we are in the merge window,
don't you wanna wait for v7.3-rc1 and create the immutable branch
based on that?

My thought was to base on v7.2, and then consider the topic done for me.
 

(But Bartosz will be the one pulling the immutable branch...)

It shouldn't make a difference for him if the branch's base is v7.2 or
v7.3-rc1, still more given that there are no changes staged in next to
the affected files (`git log v7.2..next/master --
include/linux/notifier.h kernel/notifier.c`).

Best regards
