We are at the finish line of getting rid of legacy GPIO approach that was marked as a such like a decade ago. It's not that it's really hurry, but this particular series prevents Dmitry to finish his part what he maintains. > I'm doing this as a hobbyist and I'm working on my own pace as I cannot > always spend time working on kernel maintenance. Right, this is fine, the problem is that we are not working independently on a project, there are areas where it's possible, but in many cases one's work may be crucial for the other's... > I'm usually collecting patches from patchwork [1] for review and then merge > them in batches if they're fine. > > What I don't understand, why did you choose to use an immutable tree?

And having an immutable branch is actually *to help* you, and not the opposite. Now you can simply pull that branch into your tree as a whole. > The v2 patch series was sent first in May, so I didn't think this was already > a long time. Pace of the Linux kernel development is 1 week with the release every ~9th week (with a gap ~3-4 weeks due to end of cycle and merge window). Currently is the first third of July, so... make conclusion yourself. > > [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-sh/list/ -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
