Well, yes, that's why I put Zoltan on CC for that patch (you can't
see that as the list server apparently removes CC's if the receiver
is among the list subscribers).
And sure, he might already have it ready himself or do things as he
likes to, e.g. more testing on all boards before pushing the commit.
I did this bump to 3.19 this morning because I was impatient to see if
framebuffer works as it was promissed for 3.19 on sun7i. And it does.
I was happy to see that and felt that it may make sense to publish my
results.
Note that my motivation when porting the patches was my own curiosity
and it was fun doing it -- no matter, if any picks them up or not.
Just in case Zoltan starts working on 3.19 tomorrow, he'll already have
a reference point to start with.
If he already got it ready and just wants to do more testing before
pushing the commit -- fine, this might have been "a waste of time" when
looking at it from an economic point of view. Just that my motiviation
was self-education rather than just using my time as efficient as I can.
Is there anything wrong with that?
Or did anyone feel offended by that?
Not at all. Please continue with good work. I only wish I've seen your
patch sooner ;)
Don't start a fight over my head without me. :)
Daniel, thanks for the patches for bringing sunxi up to 3.19. I already
had done some work, but this patchset helps, so I'll work it in and add
you as SoB when committing.
One small note, it might be worth to send "generic" and
"target_foo-related" in separate series to the list, so they could be
picked up and committed separately, avoiding unnecessary confusion.
(That's just my $.02 though.)
Thanks,
