However, since they have been brought in without doing a merge, it's hard for us to tell where they came form, and/or if they're in a shared branch somewhere. Therefore, I recommend doing a --no-ff merge of the branch, so it's obvious from the merge commit where they came form. They also need to be part of the diffstat. Finally, the clk patch doesn't really belong in the DT branch here. It's probably a suitable patch to send to the clk maintainers after the DT changes have gone in, i.e. for 4.9. Please respin this pull request and we'll take another look! Thanks, -Olof ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

There was a discussion on IRC armlinux's channel between Lee Jones, Arnd Bergman and Mark Brown about the way to proceed with this pull request. As there are dependencies between the 3 critical clocks patches on Stephen Boyd's branch clk-next/clk-st-critical, our STi DT and our SPI drivers which remove a temporary clock hack, the decision was taken to put our DT STi fixes on top of Stephen Boyd critical clk branch and our SPI patches on the top. For more details i put in attachment the IRC exchange about this. Patrice > > > Thanks, > > -Olof -------------- next part -------------- <lag> arnd: ojn: khilman: Morning chaps.

This information belongs into the tag description, it's required for us to make the decision whether the branch is can be merged or not. In particular, you need to spell out the specific dependency that exists between the clk patches and the dt patches. What I understood from Lee before is that there is no such dependency at all and the only thing that needs the clk changes is the spi patch, while the DT patches and the clk patches are independent. However, Lee's explanation was a bit ambiguous and could be interpreted as meaning that there is another dependency here, which was simply not explained.

I don't see any ambiguity? <lag> arnd: The SPI patch depends on them both landing ... before it does <broonie> But why not just merge all three bits via the same path with the dependencies sorted out in git? <arnd> that would work too. lag, can you easily separate out the dt changes for this thing from the other dt changes? then the three clk changes, the respective dt changes and the bugfix can all go into arm-soc/next/late together <lag> broonie: That's what I suggested to start with <lag> arnd: That works for me too <lag> pchotard: Are you happy do to that? ... then I went on to describe to Patrice how this would look. To recap: Patrice would submit his normal 'machine', 'device tree' and 'defconfig' pull-requests. None of these branches would have any critical clock related patches contained. He would also submit a 'late' branch, which would contain all of the critical clock enablement. The idea being that you would have this branch merged late in the cycle.
