From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: ohad@wizery.com (Ohad Ben-Cohen) Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:21:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] remoteproc: depend on EXPERIMENTAL Message-ID: <1324466473-5128-1-git-send-email-ohad@wizery.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org Remoteproc is still under development and as it gets traction we definitely expect to have some changes in the binary format (most probably only in the resource table, e.g. the upcoming move to TLV-based entries). Active testing and use of remoteproc is most welcome, but we don't want users to expect backward binary compatibility with the preliminary images we have today. Therefore mark remoteproc as EXPERIMENTAL, and explicitly inform the user about this when a new remote processor is registered.
