I can't see anything wrong with that. Your code is not the first to have to wait for a long time before being finally merged. Think of alsa, or of the pps stuff, or wakelocks, or preempt_rt, etc, etc. As an end user, I don't mind waiting for a feature if that means stability and QA. If I get impatient, still I always have the choice to take a development version. But I do not want to be forced to take unfinished work in a released kernel. > I > used to think that we actively wanted people to contribute code back > upstream, so telling everyone to keep code in their own trees isn't > helping anyone. Actually, I mean to propose that the ARM/DT people use a single marshaling tree, one step away in the process from mainline.
