Re: [PATCH v7 00/15] GSC support for XeHP SDV and DG2

[Joonas Lahtinen]

Dave, do you have a preference how to deal with the mishap here, shall I do a
force-push to drm-intel-gt-next to correctly record the Acked-by or revert and
re-push? Or just leave it as is?

Daniele, why were the patches applied without this A-b?

I'm just preparing the drm-intel-gt-next pull request and now it appears
like we're pushing a lot of commits outside of drm without any Acks.

Please reach out to the maintainers *before* pushing code for other
subsystems. Unless you get an explicit ack to do so, do not push such
code.

Quoting from the committer guidelines[1] the first rule is:
"Only push patches changing drivers/gpu/drm/i915."

In those cases, please ping a maintainer and don't rush things.

Regards, Joonas
