The series will be posted again for review. This is just a heads up.
v5 compared to v4:
- Rebase on top of v4.5-rc7.
- A new patch making me maintainer of i2c muxes (also sent separately).
- A new file Documentation/i2c/i2c-topology that describes various muxing
issues.
- Rename "i2c-controlled" muxes "self-locked" instead, as it is perfectly
reasonable to have i2c-controlled muxes that use the pre-existing locking
scheme. The pre-existing locking scheme for i2c muxes is from here on
called "parent-locked".
- Rename i2c-mux.c:i2c_mux_master_xfer to __i2c_mux_master_xfer since it
calls __i2c_transfer, which leaves room for a new i2c_mux_master_xfer
that calls i2c_transfer. Similar rename shuffle for i2c_mux_smbus_xfer.
- Use sizeof(*priv) instead of sizeof(struct i2c_mux_priv). One instance.
- Some follow-up patches that were posted in response to v2-v4 cleaning up
and simplifying various i2c muxes outside drivers/i2c/, among those is
an unrelated cleanup patch to drivers/media/dvb-frontends/rtl2832.c that
I carry here since it conflicts (trivially) with this series. That
unrelated patch is (currently) the last patch in the series.
The series looks like this now:
