Patch review

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

Hi,

I know the "development process and responsibilities" was the main topic 
during the last media summit. Unfortunately I haven't attended it, from 
the etherpad notes I also cannot quite conclude what decisions have been 
made. Have any measures been discussed and agreed upon for cases, when 
patches don't get reviewed for many months, adding up to more than a year 
(in this specific case the first version submitted in June 2016)?

Thanks
Guennadi

I assume you're talking about the "[PATCH 0/2 v6] uvcvideo: asynchronous 
controls" series, is that correct ?

Hi Laurent,

Yes, that's correct.

Thanks

What's the situation of such patch review? In case you doesn't have the
original e-mail anymore, I asked Guennadi on IRC to resubmit it, in order
to make easier for us to review/comment about any issues there, if any.

Patch review

[Peter Clifton]

Hi guys,

I've sent three patches to the list for review recently, and posed a
question about possible buggy palette handling. Two of the patches I
sent fix bugs (one "real", one a build issue), and there is a one
clean-up.

I've had no replies on any issue yet. I would appreciate if someone
could take a quick look and ACK / NAK the patches.

I'm only a technical user (Although I do some OSS software development
in my free time), and it is somewhat disheartening when I've taken the
extra steps to produce a patch to fix the issues, for them to be
(seemingly) ignored.

If you want me to go away and file bug-reports, and attach the patches,
I'll do it, but these are simple issues - and if people would pick up
and commit the patches I've sent, it saves me a lot of time fighting
bugzilla.

It was me who "discovered" the TV-out logic on the Cantiga platforms
seem to require a "0" in the state-change detection enable bits, but I
see I got no credit for that detective work in the eventual patch Zhao
Yakui worked up once with access to the HW specs / BIOS code.

PS.. Wouldn't it be nice to get some of that reference BIOS code opened
up?

Sorry that I'm not going to be of any use reviewing these patches.

I've got a similar experience--I actually had two patches /accepted/
and supposedly tucked away in a branch for merging after 2.11 was
released. They've never been merged. I've pinged Carl at least twice,
heard nothing back.

Not sure what's going on.

Matt

Hi Matt,

That was entirely my fault.

The patches are still there on my "after-2.11" branch. And after your
most recent ping I did try to merge them and found that they now
conflict.

I'm sorry about that. I can try to resolve the conflicts, but I will
likely want your final review of the result.

-Carl

Hi Peter,

For my part at least, I was on vacation last week, (and a bit swamped
before that). I'm coming out of that now and already have your "Graphics
Corruption Issues" patch tagged to review and commit soon.

I prefer email myself as well. One thing that does help is that if you
want to follow-up to ask about a specific patch that seems to have been
missed, if you do it as a reply to the mail then that helps.

For example, I believe that the "graphics corruption issues" patch is
one you are referring to. And I'm guessing that "Fix out of tree builds"
is the build issue. But I don't know what the third issue was.

That is unfortunate. It would definitely be preferable to have
everyone's contribution noted.

I agree that it would be quite nice.

patch review

[James Simmons]

I have been reviewing and testing your patches. I haven't tested them all 
tho. I have tested:

annotate-some-variables-in-vesafb.patch
fbcmapc-mark-structs-const-or.patch
gregkh-driver-fb-device.patch
ioremap-balanced-with-iounmap-for-drivers-video-vesafb.patch
various-fbdev-files-mark-structs-fix.patch
various-fbdev-files-mark-structs.patch

I had no problem with them. I will test the atyfb patches tomorrow.
Please drop the 

fbmem-is-bootup-logo-broken-for-monochrome-lcd.patch

It does address several problems but there are more problmes then that. I 
like to send out another patch to would address all those issues.
Thanks.
