Hi Andrew, From Microchip side, we haven't stopped/postponed this framework development. We are already working on it. It is in the final stage now. We are doing internal reviews right now and we expect that in 3 weeks time frame in the mainline again. We will send a new version (v3) of this patch series soon.
Hi Parthiban It is good to here you are still working on it. A have a few comments about how Linux mainline works. It tends to be very iterative. Cycles tend to be fast. You will probably get review comments within a couple of days of posting code. You often see developers posting a new version within a few days, maybe a week. If reviewers have asked for large changes, it can take longer, but general, the cycles are short. When you say you need three weeks for internal review, that to me seems very slow. Is it so hard to get access to internal reviewers? Do you have a very formal review process? More waterfall than iterative development? I would suggest you try to keep your internal reviews fast and low overhead, because you will be doing it lots of times as we iterate the framework. Andrew
