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.

Hi Andrew,

Good day...!

Finally we have completed the v3 patch series preparation and planning 
to post it in the mainline in the next days. FYI, next week (from 11th 
to 15th March) I will be out of office and will not have access to 
emails. Again will be back to work on 18th March. Would it be ok for you 
to post the patch series this week or shall I post it on March 18th? as 
I will not be able to reply to the comments immediately. Could you 
please provide your suggestion on this?

Best regards,
