[RFC] two new linux-next trees (SPI and devicetree)
From: Grant Likely
Date: Tue Nov 24 2009 - 19:54:53 EST
Hi Stephen,
I've got two trees that I'd like to have some linux-next exposure, but
I don't want to step on any toes...
First one is a bunch of SPI patches. I've made the offer to be SPI
co-maintainer, but I haven't received any feedback yet from either
akpm or dbrownell. In the mean time, I still have a bunch of SPI
patches (properly signed off and everything) that should have
linux-next exposure before the merge window. I've put them in the
tree shown in the request-pull output below.
David, akpm, please note: I'm not intending to ask Linus to pull this
tree, but I do really need some feedback on what you want me to do.
The tree should be properly formed and signed off, so I can ask Linus
to pull from me directly if you wish.
The second one is a bunch of the device tree changes that I want to
give some linux-next exposure as soon as possible. The tree is
properly formed, but I haven't collected a full set of acks from all
the relevant folks. Once I get all the acks, I merge the commits into
the next-devicetree branch that you're already pulling. Ben in
particular is very busy and hasn't had time to review. They are in
this tree:
git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6 test-devicetree
So, here's the RFC. I'd *like* to get them into linux-next before
benh gets time to ack them; but there is possibly a greater likelyhood
of breakage. Can you add them to the end of the queue and just punt
it out if they cause grief? Do you have any other suggestions?
Should I just put them into next-devicetree and fix it up as I get
acks? (BTW, I have at least compile tested this tree on 32/64 bit
powerpc, 32/64 bit sparc and microblaze).
Thanks,
g.
