Then there should have been 2 patches in the set. But then to attach 2 unrelated patches to the set is not fine. They should have either been submitted as part of the set i.e. 0/4 or completely separately. > > in the set, that's what we should expect. > > Can changes for the components "dm355evm_msp" and "twl-core" > be clarified independently? Yes, or together would have also been fine. The only think that is not okay is to submit a set of 2 patches, then to "bolt-on" another 2 for some reason. -- Lee Jones Linaro STMicroelectronics Landing Team Lead Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
