May I know which changes superseded my update suggestions (from 2018-02-02) here?

I find it interesting somehow that you found a contribution by Andrew Davis (from 2023-05-15)
more appropriate.

i2c: davinci: Use struct name not type with devm_kzalloc()

It got reviewed from someone else. Patches which get a review from
someone else get a priority boost. But don't be sad, because of this
patch, I noticed all your other (unreviewed!) patches and applied them.
That's good, right?

Such an effect can occasionally be also nice.

Unfortunately, it seems that the patch quality was still improvable.

I was informed that another selection of change possibilities was accepted.


> That's good, right?

Yes. - I hope so.

More positive feedback can be nice.

* How will the patch integration evolve further for suggestions which seem to be
  still in waiting queues?

* How far back would you like to support the known development history
  for discussed Linux software components?

Markus

It was not perfect but good enough.

Easy, it will evolve quite similar with the amount of review/reviewers.

Dunno, if I got the question right, but I don't want to break existing
stuff. Why do you ask?

Another bit of clarification follows follows …


> but I don't want to break existing stuff.

I am trying also to avoid some breakage.


> Why do you ask?

If I look at patches which I contributed for the software area “I2C”,
I got the impression that further constructive feedback will be helpful also for
six change possibilities from days like the following.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-i2c/list/?submitter=65077&state=*&archive=both

* 2017-10-25
* 2016-09-23

Yes, you are right. these patches need feedback. This is why I haven't
applied them yet.

I became curious also how collateral evolution will be continued.


> I noticed all your other (unreviewed!) patches and applied them.

You converted some update suggestions into special change combinations.

* i2c: Delete error messages for failed memory allocations
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?h=next-20230609&id=6b3b21a8542fd2fb6ffc61bc13b9419f0c58ebad

* i2c: Improve size determinations
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?h=next-20230609&id=06e989578232da33a7fe96b04191b862af8b2cec


> That's good, right?

I hope that development interests will grow accordingly.
