I tried to use the word "should" and not "must" to allow for case by case decisions, but I think there was an agreement on the direction of the proposal. > Merge early and merge often is golden rule for new SoCs. > None is simply working on NAND when you don't have core SoC support > or serial console. > It means preferred way is to merge sensible patch series from start > and then extend it to the drivers exactly how you do your SoC bringup. > > If you have bigger series touching some areas you need to get ack from > custodian or you can be asked to split that series. I believe we are in sync here. Best wishes Detlev -- (7) It is always something (7a) (corollary).
