I would have expected the whole set to be merged as a set into a single tree, placed on an immutable branch and a pull-request to be sent out for the other maintainers to pull from (if they so wished). This would ensure development could continue on any/all of the affected drivers/files. If it's not too late, I'd be more than happy to facilitate. -- Lee Jones [李琼斯] Senior Technical Lead - Developer Services Linaro.org │ Open source software for Arm SoCs Follow Linaro: Facebook | Twitter | Blog
