[GIT PATCH] hwmon updates against v2.6.26

[GIT PATCH] hwmon updates against v2.6.26

[Mark M. Hoffman]

Hi Linus:

Please pull from:
	git://lm-sensors.org/kernel/mhoffman/hwmon-2.6.git release

You'll get what few patches I've managed to look at in the last few months,
including a patch to MAINTAINERS which makes it official.  I'm sorry I was
not able to keep up - I should have admitted defeat much sooner.

To all lm-sensors/hwmon developers: please resend/CC patches to Andrew.

Thanks & regards,

Thanks for all the work.  There are many subsystems for which the
maintainer is, err, me.

Yup.  I'll subscribe to those lists and shall do the occasional
troll-for-missed-stuff there.

You'll also find that I'll still cc yourself on everything (including
patches) so please do keep an eye out for goofups.

I'm sad to see you go (and can only hope that you won't leave the
project entirely). But I would also like to thank you for the good work
you've done. Even if it was short, everything you did is done and
that's something you can be proud of. Especially given the conditions
in which you started in this new role - please forgive me for that.

> To all lm-sensors/hwmon developers: please resend/CC patches to Andrew.

I have a number of hwmon patches in my local kernel tree which I wrote
and that have been reviewed by a trusted developer, or that have been
posted to the lm-sensors list and that I have reviewed. I consider
these ready to go upstream. I plan to gather these into a public tree
and push them to Linus today or tomorrow. In the future, I will
probably have such a tree available to be included in linux-next.

Don't get me wrong, I am _not_ volunteering to become the new hwmon
subsystem maintainer. Remember, I've been there before and you know how
it ended. But in the absence of a subsystem maintainer, I don't want
hwmon patches to be lost (and especially not mine) and I don't think
that pushing everything to Andrew is a good solution either. So I'm
just proposing to do my part of the work. But if Andrew really prefers
to pick all the patches, I am not insisting either.

In the future, I would like to suggest to have 2 hwmon subsystem
maintainers instead of 1. Apparently none of us has the time to do all
the work, but maybe some of us would have the time to do half of it.
This is the path I took for the i2c subsystem, and while the change is
still fairly recent, it seems to be working well enough.

All I can see really is +1, sad to see you go and thanks for all the work done!

I too don't want to see any patches get dropped, so I'll try to step up a 
little with regards to reviewing hwmon patches, I would be grateful if you 
could incorporate any patches Acked by me in said tree. Esp since my git-fu 
isn't all that good.

Don't get me wrong either, I will try to step up my reviewing but I am _not_ 
volunteering to become the new hwmon subsystem maintainer either. I'm just 
starting a new job and with that combined with that I'm doing a lot of v4l work 
lately, I simply don't have the time for this.

+1

Will do. Note that I'm really using quilt, not git, to push patches to
linux-next. I only use git to push patches to Linus once in a while.

The patches in question are here if anyone wants to take a look:
http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/linux-2.6/jdelvare-hwmon/

I'll make a git branch out of them by the end of the day, for Linus to
pull from.

That would be great, thanks.

But it does mean that I'd prefer that any hwmon patches which I pick up
are merged via that tree if that's OK.  Which all does end up making
you look awfully like an hwmon maintainer..

Sure.  Having additional people reviewing, testing and generally caring
for changes has practically zero downside.

No, that's not OK, sorry. This goes beyond what I can offer at this
point in time.

I offered to push selected patches to Linus, with no other guarantee
than the fact that said patches have been carefully reviewed and are
believed to be correct. I do not have the time to do more than that.

If this isn't OK with you, then I will have to withdraw my proposal.
It's up to you.

Ah, I see, this tree is only things-which-Jean-wrote.  No probs here.

Things that I wrote or reviewed, yes. Put in short, things I am already
involved in, so there is no extra cost for me to push them to Linus.
