[PATCH 1/7] mtd: denali: Drop print of build date/time

[Josh Triplett]

The kernel already has this information, and individual drivers
shouldn't duplicate that.  This also eliminates the use of __DATE__ and
__TIME__, which make the build non-deterministic.

BTW, it is possible for modules to be built at a different time than the
kernel, and this code could show that. But it's not very useful anyway,
so I agree.

The kernel already has this information, so other bits of kernel code

[PATCH 7/7] Makefile: Build with -Werror=date-time if the compiler supports it

[Josh Triplett]

GCC 4.9 and newer have a new warning -Wdate-time, which warns on any use
of __DATE__, __TIME__, or __TIMESTAMP__, which would make the build
non-deterministic.  Now that the kernel does not use any of those
macros, turn on -Werror=date-time if available, to keep it that way.

The kernel already (optionally) records this information at build time
in a single place; other kernel code should not duplicate that.

Nice, I didn't know about -Wdate-time. Do you want me to merge the
entire series, or do you want individual maintainers merge the patches?
In the latter case, I'd wait with applying 7/7 in order not to break the
build. At any rate, you can add

I did not find time last week and Greg was faster and merged the driver
patches. But I'm reluctant to only merge the Makefile patch now, because
the kbuild branch would not build. I think I will send the patch to
Linus after 3.14-rc1.

Greg, if you already have all the driver patches in your tree, perhaps
you could go ahead and take the Makefile patch through your tree as
well?  (Assuming that's OK with you, Michal?)

Did I really grab all of the other patches?  I don't remember how many
there were in this series for stuff I maintain.  If I have them all,
sure, I'll be glad to take it, otherwise I agree with Michal, it should
be sent to Linus after 3.14-rc1 is out to make sure everything is
properly synced up and you didn't miss any new drivers coming in that
missed getting converted.

FYI: The remaining patches are now in the kbuild.git#drop-time branch
