I think the code is ok now, but the timing apparently didn't work for 4.6.
I'd suggest you resend as soon as 4.6-rc1 is out so it can get merged into 4.7.

Isn't it possible to be merged into a ufs-dwc branch in the SCSI Git tree that
could be pulled later, like Bjorn did in the PCIe RC?

Re: UFS V11 patch-set

Hi Rafael, James, Mark and Christoph,

I check in the scsi git tree that you were the last to merge code to the ufs
repository.

Is it possible to merge this code into a ufs-dwc branch in SCSI repository, in
order to be merged in v4.6-rc1?

Re: UFS V11 patch-set

Hi,

The following patch-set was approved by Arnd Bergmann and Rob Herring and I
would appreciate that someone from SCSI / UFS gave a final checkout in order to
evaluate the possibility of still merging it to v4.6 or putting it in a branch
in SCSI to be merged to v4.7.

I've no idea why you're sending me this stuff but please stop - you sent
a similar mail yesterday and I see there were a bunch of similar mails
before you started CCing me into the thread - but sending daily top
posted content free pings is just going to annoy people (or at least
it's annoying me) and sending them to random other maintainers isn't
likely to improve things.  This is especially the case when we're more
than half way through the merge window and the code apparently isn't
even in -next yet.  

Please stop this and follow Arnd's advice (which you quoted from the
message you're replying to):

If there's some reason to break the process you need to articulate what
it is and give people a chance to respond but that's *very* rare, unless
there is an unusually strong reason people are going to use the normal
development workflow.

Hi Mark,

I have no intend to break the rules. I am just trying to communicate with UFS
maintainers that so far gave me no response. Merging in v4.7 is fine, but I
would like that UFS maintainers give me some feedback about the next steps, but
so far didn't have luck.

Thanks,
Joao

Like I say the next steps are those Arnd gave you: repost after -rc1.
Then give people at least a week or so to respond, people do get busy
and other people are also sending patches.

Understood, I will repost this patch set after -rc1.
I suggest that the UFS maintenance should be revised because the e-mail of
ufshcd.c authors are no longer valid and the current maintainer (Vinayak
Holikatti) is having a career shift (has you can check in LinkedIn) and probably
is not available at the moment to do patch reviews.

Thanks,
Joao

I'd also suggest checking James Bottomley's e-mail address, the one
you're using here bounces and isn't the one advertised in MAINTAINERS
(you should check that for other maintainers too).

I took James's email from commit logs in UFS. Thanks for the info.

I just started 4.7/scsi-queue so now is a good time to resubmit.
