From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Grant Likely Subject: [RFC] two new linux-next trees (SPI and devicetree) Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:54:27 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE To: akpm@linux-foundation.org, dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net, spi-devel-general@lists.sourceforge.net, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Stephen Rothwell , Benjamin H Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-spi.vger.kernel.org Hi Stephen, I've got two trees that I'd like to have some linux-next exposure, but I don't want to step on any toes... =46irst one is a bunch of SPI patches. I've made the offer to be SPI co-maintainer, but I haven't received any feedback yet from either akpm or dbrownell. In the mean time, I still have a bunch of SPI patches (properly signed off and everything) that should have linux-next exposure before the merge window. I've put them in the tree shown in the request-pull output below. David, akpm, please note: I'm not intending to ask Linus to pull this tree, but I do really need some feedback on what you want me to do. The tree should be properly formed and signed off, so I can ask Linus to pull from me directly if you wish. The second one is a bunch of the device tree changes that I want to give some linux-next exposure as soon as possible. The tree is properly formed, but I haven't collected a full set of acks from all the relevant folks. Once I get all the acks, I merge the commits into the next-devicetree branch that you're already pulling. Ben in particular is very busy and hasn't had time to review. They are in this tree: git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6 test-devicetree So, here's the RFC. I'd *like* to get them into linux-next before benh gets time to ack them; but there is possibly a greater likelyhood of breakage. Can you add them to the end of the queue and just punt it out if they cause grief? Do you have any other suggestions? Should I just put them into next-devicetree and fix it up as I get acks? (BTW, I have at least compile tested this tree on 32/64 bit powerpc, 32/64 bit sparc and microblaze). Thanks, g.
