These five patches are necessary for the watchdog driver to probe on an ACPI system. I'm guessing since that v4 was posted in the middle of the 4.6 merge window, that these patches won't make it and we'll have to wait until 4.7 (at the earliest)? -- Sent by an employee of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.

First off, the last version I've seen is the v3. I must have overlooked the v4 then, but I don't think it was CCed to linux-acpi (which should have happened). Second, these patches require review from multiple maintainers and (or including) people who actually know how the GTDT is supposed to be used. I haven't seen any responses from any of them yet, so the answer to your question is "yes". I will have a couple of comments for patch [1/6] (in the v3), but it's not been a priority due to the apparent overall lack of interest in this series. Thanks, Rafael ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I updated the script of git-send-email for sending the v4 patchset, but lost a space between two "--cc". :-( > > Second, these patches require review from multiple maintainers and (or including) > people who actually know how the GTDT is supposed to be used.

Since this device is a generic watchdog for ARM server, it is(will be) used in a lot of chips. So I think many people are interested in it. They haven't provided any feedback, maybe due to my "--cc" mistake, or busy on something else now. :-( I would like to learn your comments for patch [1/6] , then improve my v4, post v5 ASAP. This patchset includes GTDT and memory-mapped timer patches, because my memory-mapped timer patches depends on GTDT. But maybe we can upstream GTDT separately? any suggestion?
