I should've said re-submitted and merged. Both have been submitted (and reviewed) but no follow up submissions after review, and thus they're still out of tree. Just tired of seeing things perpetually change without considering even how to handle features that are mandatory for SoC even with code posted upstream to show exactly what it takes.. I'm sorry, but this is not perpetual change. This driver has been upstream in its current (admittedly feature-limited) form for a long time, the only thing changing in $SUBJECT series is the location of the driver. Why all the fuss about the missing features now? I think you do mean merged upstream in this context. Correct. Frameworks always have limitations. The way they get extended/expanded etc. is by the submission/review/merging of support for new features/requirements. The process for that is the same as any feature in any part of the kernel. Evolution, not intelligent design[1]. All of that being said, I'm not sure why this thread was hijacked for this debate in the first place. The point of $SUBJECT series is simply to move and *existing* framework from arch/arm out to drivers. The only changes done are cleanups to make this move possible. I for one would welcome extending this framework to ensure it supports all the SoC features. I just don't want those features to be a prerequisite for this move from arch/arm to drivers. Please, let's get this moved to drivers, and then add support for the missing features.

Woodruff, Richard r-woodru...@ti.com writes: The only thing the higher-level layers might potentially need to do is to enable/disable AVS around transitions (e.g. when changing OPP,AVS is disabled before changing OPP and only re-enabled when the newnominal voltage has been acheived.) Getting clean baseline in place is huge step but actual production interfaces will need to comprehend some OPP to AVS dependencies beyond on/off. A basic OMAP AVS driver has been in mainline for a long time, yet we have not seen support submitted for all of these features. When folks are motivated to propose such changes upstream, we will be happy to discuss them and add support for them to the AVS driver. Until then, the primary purpose of this series is to do some minimal cleanup of an *existing* driver so it can be moved into drivers/*. New features can be added there as easily as they could've been added when it was a driver under arch/arm.
