I do not understand: You got review which you ignored and then you
removed pieces of this code to make it incorrect. Go back to previous
versions so you won't waste our time re-doing review.
Hi Krzysztof,

The previous reviewed-by is no longer applicable because in this
version, we moved

the driver from /drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ to
/drivers/hwtracing/qcom/. This means the

required compatible has changed from "/qcom,coresight-tgu/" to "/qcom,tgu/".

Since this involves changes to devicetree binding, i didn't not carry
over the previous review tags.
And which part of changelog explains the exact reasons to drop review
tags? Not mentioning that changelog is almost impossible to find, buried
under 10 pages of some repetitive introduction

Did you read submitting patches?
As I mentioned above, the |compatible| string in this version has
changed compared to

the previously reviewed binding. Therefore, I believe it's a default
rule that the previous

|Reviewed-by|tags are no longer applicable. If the community requires a
note in the changelog to explain this,

I will make sure to include it in the next version.




Did you read submitting patches?



Yes, the explanations in the cover letter were written by me, so I have
definitely read them. All of these explanatory documents are


Heh, why I am even reviewing this... you indicated in your address list
that you do not wish review from me, so I will keep that in mind and not
provide review.

Hi Krzysztof,

Apologies - I just realized i forgot to include you in the To list earlier.

Your input has always been valuable and welcome to me and i've learned a lot from our past discussions.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
