I don't think applying the current series on top of v7.0-rc1 would be a good idea. It depends upon this series in a very non-trivial way, basically building upon it: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=1056390&state=* For example, that previous series introduces ethqos_mac_finish_serdes() - absent in v7.0-rc1 - and this series modifies it (in current net-next/main, it is calling phy_set_speed(), and after this series, it is calling phy_set_mode_ext()). By comparison, the merge conflict with me renaming would be smaller. > I don't recall us ever making a "dirty tag" on net-next which would > propagate few 100s of netdev patches into someone else's tree :S > IDK how Linus would react. It's the least good option IMO. Just for my curiosity, what difference would it make to him? -- linux-phy mailing list linux-phy@lists.infradead.org https://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-phy
