I'll get right to the point: Can we please have this series queued up
for v3.20?
Before you even ask for this, please look at the patches and realise
that there is a complete lack of Reviewed-by tags on the code (well,
apart from trivial Kconfig changes). In addition, the series touches on
other subsystems like clocksource, irqchip, acpi and I don't see any
acks from the corresponding maintainers. So even if I wanted to merge
the series, there is no way it can be done without additional
reviews/acks. On the document (last patch), I'd like to see a statement
There's probably a bit of a process problem here - these patches are all
being posted as part of big and apparently controversial threads with
subject lines in the form "ARM / ACPI:" so people could be forgiven for
just not even reading the e-mails enough to notice changes to their
subsystems. Is it worth posting those patches separately more directly
to the relevant maintainers?
I think it's beneficial to post the entire series as one thread, but to
change the subject line of each patch to adequately reflect the affected
subsystem.
Indeed, keeping the series as one thread is better. Apart from a
slightly less misleading subject, I suggest Hanjun that he passes each
patch via get_maintainer.pl and adds the corresponding Cc: lines to the
commit log. I think that's a clearer way keep track of who needs to
ack/review the patches.
I already checked all the patches with get_maintainer.pl, and CC the
maintainers in the CC list, I will add the corresponding Cc: lines in
next version.
Thanks
Hanjun
