Opinions differ, but ultimately it's up to whoever is responsible for accepting the patch, and in the case of ARM SoC based patches, the arm-soc maintainers. The arm-soc maintainers close their trees for development changes a few weeks before hand (a patch of mine which was acked etc by 7th December never made the 4.5 merge window either, and the alleged reason I've been told is because arm-soc was already closed by then). --=20 RMK's Patch system: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/ =46TTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
