I do not have the feeling that I rebased anything or invalidated any testing. And I don't think I did anything different this time from the way I have been proceeding for years. I had only 2 hwmon patches for Linus for this merge window: hwmon-lm63-drop-redundant-safety.patch hwmon-lm90-drop-redundant-safety.patch They have been in http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/linux-3/jdelvare-hwmon/ (and thus in linux-next) continuously since May 19th so I'd say they received pretty good testing. I did not touch them, I did not even have to refresh them. 3 days ago I added these 2 patches to the hwmon-for-linus branch of my staging tree: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jdelvare/staging.git/log/?h=hwmon-for-linus and asked Linux to pull from it. Yesterday I reviewed a new (trivial) hwmon patch, and I accepted it, so it was added to http://khali.linux-fr.org/devel/linux-3/jdelvare-hwmon/ as hwmon-w83792d-update-module-author.patch (and thus went to linux-next.) Last night Linus pulled from http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jdelvare/staging.git/log/?h=hwmon-for-linus so the 2 "old" patches are now merged upstream. The one "new" patch is not, it will get upstream next time I ask Linus to pull from my staging tree. This is how things have happened, and I just can't see anything wrong. If you do, please explain what you thing shouldn't have happened, and let me know what I should have done instead. Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
