Re: [PATCH v3] si2157: unknown chip version Si2147-A30 ROM 0x50

[Thorsten Leemhuis]

Hi, this is your Linux kernel regression tracker. Top-posting for once,
to make this easily accessible to everyone.

Mauro, what's the hold-up here? Below patch is fixing a regression
caused by one of your patches. Why haven't you applied this or provided
feedback to Piotr what needs to be improved? Or am I missing something
and progress was made?

This really is overdue, the first version of this patch was already
posted two and a half weeks ago. Reminder, the newly added document on
handling regressions (
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/handling-regressions.rst#n132
) for this case states this as rule of thumb: "Aim to fix regressions
within one week ".

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)

P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I'm getting a lot of
reports on my table. I can only look briefly into most of them and lack
knowledge about most of the areas they concern. I thus unfortunately
will sometimes get things wrong or miss something important. I hope
that's not the case here; if you think it is, don't hesitate to tell me
in a public reply, it's in everyone's interest to set the public record
straight.
