I think I've seen already this series. But this one doesn't have a cover
letter.
I'd kindly ask to do the following:
- Try using the b4 tool. It automates a lot of things for you, including
some of the checks, cover letters, versioning, etc. You should be able
to import your current series.
- Wait for a few more days, collect review comments and review-by's,
then start sending the next iteration of the series. Don't rush, send
them one by one, checking that the cover letters, versions are fine.
- Make sure that all changes are reflected in the bindings. If the
binding is already in place and you are just sending the missing
headers, mention it in the commit message.
- Comments are nice, but don't put too much into them. There is no need
to explain everything again and again.
- Think from the reviewers point of view. Footswitch can go together
with the mmcc patches. Or in one of the patches you were mentioning
the apcs which doesn't (yet) exist for MSM8x60.
- Again, don't rush. You did a great job for a very nice hardware (I
will even dig the APQ8060 out of my closet at some point), now let's
get those merged.
