Hi Ulf, It looks like you rebase mmc/next almost daily. Is there any specific reason for that?
I'm asking because I create a "renesas-drivers" tree on a regular basis (cfr. e.g. https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-renesas-soc/msg15111.html). This tree is meant to ease development of platform support and drivers for Renesas ARM SoCs. It is created by merging (a) the for-next branches of various subsystem trees and (b) branches with driver code submitted or planned for submission to maintainers into the development branch of Simon Horman's renesas.git tree. If for (b), people submit driver code based on mmc/next, it may start to conflict with subsequent mmc/next releases soon, requiring the submitter or me to rebase the code before including it in renesas-drivers. Most subsystem maintainers don't rebase their for-next branch, unless there's a very good reason for it (e.g. a serious breakage hindering bisection). Thanks!
