Hi all, [ Note I'm only CC'ing lists for now to avoid spamming nearly 100 individual maintainers/reviewers while we work out the basics ]
Reviving my idea from a few years back, the aim here is to minimise the amount of event_init boilerplate that most new drivers have to implement (and so many get wrong), while also trying to establish some more consistent and easy-to-follow patterns for the things that drivers should still care about (mostly group validation). It's ended up somewhat big and ugly, so to start with I've tried to optimise for ease of review - based on the typical "fixes, cleanup, new development" order the split of the current patches is like so: * Group validation rework (patches #1-#15) - Specific drivers with functional issues by inspection (#1-#7) - Specific drivers where cleanup changes were non-trivial (#8-#11) - Common patterns across remaining drivers (#12-#15) * Capabilities rework (patches #16-#18) * Giant bonfire of remaining boilerplate! (patch #19) If the overall idea is acceptable then a more relaxed merge strategy might be to look at landing the common parts first (#16-#18 and maybe #13), then rearrange the rest into per-driver patches, but I'm sure nobody wants a ~70-patch series out of the gate :) Thanks, Robin.
