Not as enforcement, but as your (or Olof's) preferred approach. See for example: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAOesGMhfrWSvLtDtGRWBTJiAoeSwzGgsdUTm26j1mpoVu0ghDg@mail.gmail.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAOesGMi98hJnUYVLkgcbBpXsi-Xe6QPh-gtLaPWPO-EW+KcGuQ@mail.gmail.com/ I understand the "preferred approach" as part of discussions on the patches, when the entire patchset can still be re-arranged or changed. Not as strict policy applied on the actual git pull request from sub-arch maintainer. If we want to keep such recommendation, let's embed it into maintainer handbook, so we will not have to dig the emails. > > I generally object to changes touching drivers/* or anything else besides > arch/*/boot/dts, Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ and include/dt-bindings > in the dt branches, but I have made expections in the past when there > was a particular important reason.
