How did you backport the above patches?

./tools/update-subtree.sh pick dts <commit>

is the tool to be used, it should have added a


Thank you for the tip! I did not know there's such a script and
I just copy&paste the commit message from linux tree manually.


Mmmm, how did you apply the patch in your tree then? Trying to figure out how we can avoid this in the future.

I fetched the patches[1] as-is from kernel and applied them by `git am -3` with path correction, then maually added the line "[ upstream commit: xxxxxx ]" to commit message.

I'm wondering if we shouldn't have tooling in place to detect when things aren't done the proper way (for maintainers I mean). We **really** want to have dts/upstream be upstream + some patches that were already merged in devicetree-rebasing tree. I don't know enough about subtree merges that Tom does when updating to a new tagged release to know if it's actually safe or if the possible mistake made when applying a commit by hand can persist without us noticing. I guess a mistake made in a manually applied patch would be caught by Tom during the merge from the next release with a merge conflict, but then that's pain for him to debug.

I'm really sorry for that. All of those commits were already landed on devicetree-rebasing tree so hope everything would be fine.

Thanks,
Tianling.


Cheers,
Quentin
