Hi,
would the series be ok if we just dropped those parts and then have a
driver in the kernel that wont do much with the out of tree patches ?
the problem here is that on one side people complain about vendors not
sending code upstream. once they start being a good citizen and provide
funding to send stuff upstream the feedback tends to be very bad as seen
here. we are planning on doing a DSA driver but one step at a time. this
kind of feedback will inevitably lead to vendors doing second thoughts
of upstream contributions.
John
