Inclusion of linux-rockchip into linux-next?

Inclusion of linux-rockchip into linux-next?

[Heiko Stuebner]

Hi Stephen,

not sure if there is some expected protocol to follow for linux-next 
inclusions (basic search didn't turn up anything of that type).


Anyway, could you include the following tree into linux-next please?

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmind/linux-rockchip.git
branch for-next


It looks like some kernelci people want to do testing a bit earlier than my 
pulls to arm-soc, so it would be nice to have rockchip-specific changes in 
next.


Thanks
Heiko

Added from today.

You may need to be a bit more careful about Signed-off-by lines - for
example, commit cb8cc37f4d38 ("ARM: rockchip: fix broken build") has no
Signed-off-by from its author.

Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next.  As
you may know, this is not a judgment of your code.  The purpose of
linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of
conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window. 

You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have
been:
     * submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's
        Signed-off-by,
     * posted to the relevant mailing list,
     * reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
     * successfully unit tested, and 
     * destined for the current or next Linux merge window.

Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him
to fetch).  It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.

You had me worried that I messed up for a bit here. But the commit actually 
does have a Signed-off-by from Caesar Wang (just above a small comment by 
myself). I guess mixing Signed-off-lines with additional info is not the 
easiest thing to read, so I'll probably try to stay away from it in the 
future.
