If you are ready, why hasn't it been done until now? The claims of urgency are hard to take seriously: `SKYLAKE_X` was added to `arch/x86/include/asm/intel-family.h` in 2016, and now, ten years later, you are asking us to "do it urgently." I strongly suspect that if I don't bring up P2P at LPC, we won't see this patch for another ten years. Even now, despite being asked to clean this up before the merge window, you still haven't done so. Trust is built by following through, not by making promises. > > drivers/acpi/mipi-disco-img.c > drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_ondemand.h > drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_cpu_info.c > drivers/char/tpm/tpm.h > drivers/crypto/ccp/ccp-dev.c > include/linux/platform_data/x86/soc.h > > Bjorn, is v4 OK for v7.5 as is? The x86 header series will follow on > top. I disagree. You can't build this on top, as it would need to go through different trees and would likely cause merge conflicts. The cleanup series would have to touch the same lines in the PCI subsystem that you are changing now. The only sane approach is to do the cleanup first and then build the p2p changes on top of it.
