As Chen-Yu mentioned, I talked to Stephen about this at Linux Plumbers in person last December. I'm interested, and given the importance of the subsystem, I think we actually need even more people to help spread the load for a healthy ecosystem. Since there's a fair bit of odds and ends that get missed, I tried to start gathering things up for v7.1rc1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/abLV9vjYxXsKciHW@redhat.com/ But I never got a response outside of Andy's response. I don't know if Stephen didn't like things that were in it, or if he didn't like that I gathered up patches from other folks. I just don't know. That's why during the next merge window I just brought missing patches in the pull to Linus: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/aeeHSrZmAqE4ugXY@redhat.com/ ... and again during the last merge window: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/aj1NUYRrD30ctAbt@redhat.com/ Next week I plan to post another pull for new material posted this development cycle for things that I feel are ready, and where they won't be sent in by someone else via a different pull. I'm not trying to take anything from anyone, and I'm not trying to make anyone mad. I'm just trying to step up and help make the situation in the clk subsystem better. I'm also trying to separately address some long-standing issues in the framework: v3: clk: implement sync_state support https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/20260626-clk-sync-state-v1-0-4156d8196dc8@redhat.com/ v8: clk: add support for v1 / v2 clock rate negotiation and kunit tests https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/20260327-clk-scaling-v8-0-86cd0aba3c5f@redhat.com/ I also removed the round_rate() op, which involved 200+ patches across the tree. To help with review, I also think that we should enable Sashiko reviews to the mainglist like some other subsystems currently have enabled. Brian
