Re: [PATCH] thinkpad_acpi: convert to seq_file

Alexey,  I like your patch, but it pretty much clashes with lots of stuff in
my patch queue.

I think the easiest way is for me to take in your patch, place it at the end
of the queue, and update it when I get to it.

I won't promise I will be able to merge it for 2.6.33, but I can promise I
will do it for 2.6.34.  Depends how fast I can get the higher priority stuff
out of the door.

Your patch queue isn't in linux-next :(

Can we fix that?

It gets there through acpi-test, usually.  I have not been able to submit my
stack of patch well before the merge window lately, though :-(

> Can we fix that?

Well, getting my queue directly in linux-next would be possible, and I would
feel less bad about publishing more often as I'd not have to waste anyone's
time asking them to drop patches if I find out I need to fix something on a
patch that is not in mainline yet (because linux-next regenerates from
scratch automatically).

Note: there _is_ some shuffle in my queue, plus fixing of earlier patches,
so if I sent stuff to Len more often, I'd also end up pestering him often as
well.  I do all I can to preserve perfect bissectability, allowing at most
for some "defined but not used" warnings. I want as few bugs in the driver
as possible at every point in time.  This does mean I go back and fix
patches if I find out they're subtly incorrect before they are in mainline.

Anyway, if I feed my tree directly to linux-next, it could cause problems
for Len since acpi-test is also in linux-next, and thinkpad-acpi is merged
through the acpi trees.  For that to work out without causing problems for
Len, we'd have to arrange for the stuff I submit to him to not make it to
linux-next.

Len, what do you think?

I have it now up-to-date, and queued.  It will go to Len for acpi-test along
with the rest of the queue in a few days.
