Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v2] drm/doc: Allow new UAPI to be used once it's in drm-next/drm-misc-next.
Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2019 15:06:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190424220638.16222-1-eric@anholt.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAPM=9tw59Z7FRM-7-_VChOO__1+ahNhSs6=AceV7biasHjWKqg@mail.gmail.com>

I was trying to figure out if it was permissible to merge the Mesa
side of V3D's CSD support yet while it's in drm-misc-next but not
drm-next, and developers on #dri-devel IRC had differing opinions of
what the requirement was.

v2: Restrict to just drm-next or drm-misc-next on airlied's request.

 These are fairly steep requirements, but have grown out from years of shared
 pain and experience with uAPI added hastily, and almost always regretted about
