I few general suggestions that I hope will help you to get your patches
applied quicker:
- Please have a separate series for each group of related changes in
future. It makes them more manageable, makes dependencies clearer, and
avoids unchanged resends of unrelated patches when you respin the
whole series. Series are mainly to group tightly related patches, or
because of dependencies of later patches on earlier ones (and even if
you have a series of 30 dependent patches, you can still sometimes
split it into groups and mention in the cover letters which other
pending series each series depends on).
- More importantly, avoid moving patches between series or adding
unrelated patches to a series if possible (so probably best not to
split this series now). It makes it harder to see what has changed,
whether past feedback has been addressed, and whether new/removed
patches are new/abandoned or simply moved from/to a different series.
- Please don't resend a series without changes, ping it if you are
concerned. It clutters patchwork for no good reason and makes it
harder to see if past feedback has been addressed.
- Please run checkpatch on all patches before submission, and fix any
reasonable warnings and errors (i.e. there are various lines exceeding
80 characters in this series which should be split, but some are
acceptable where its to keep a string together).
- Please include Fixes tags where appropriate, especially where you've
Cc'd stable.
- If you Cc stable, please state how far back it should be backported
wherever possible,
E.g. Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 4.14+
This may help finding what version a commit is first included in:
https://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2017-07/msg00149.html
- Please run get_maintainer.pl on each patch to make sure you cc the
appropriate maintainers and lists (and Cc them on the cover letter
too). Its fine to skip LKML for lots of MIPS patches, but don't miss
out the appropriate subsystem maintainers and lists for patches
touching drivers/ or they'll never get acked and never get applied.
- Split arch/mips/ and drivers/ patches wherever possible.
Cheers
James
