The order of the patches within phase 3 appears to actually matter. I'm sorry for bothering you again. While the _content_ of the patches (which manipulation gets done to the source) is correct and independent from neighbour patches, yet a patch in that third phase will change the _context_ of subsequent patches. The sum of all the patches applied will be identical again, but changed order of application may cause conflicts (regardless of how simple to resolve they may be). Build and run tests and the organization of v4 (immediate removal upon driver adjustment) have shown that removing a migration workaround in the very moment where driver adjustment obsoletes it keeps the system operational. I consider this a very positive feature, and would only rearrange the order if the series' content was ACKed in complete. Moving removal of the workarounds to a later point in time won't affect operation (just leaves the workaround in place a little longer, while it does not harm), and will eliminate potential for conflicts. This I would do when accepting the series was decided, to not lose the precious test feature during development. A byproduct of this rearrangement is that patches in phase 3 won't any longer touch a peripheral driver _and_ the clock driver within a single patch, for whatever that may be worth. So I suggest the following: I can move parts 19 and 22 (completely) and the "workaround removal" aspect of parts 20-21 and 23-28 to a later point in the sequence, maybe squash them with part 31 (cleanup after migration has completed). This allows for even better (conflict free) application of the series through individual and most appropriate trees. All of this of course assumes that the series passes review, and that you agree on the outlined application in four phases if the series cannot be kept together: - clock API use cleanup for peripheral drivers, and device tree update to provide previously missing hardware information - introduction of the platform clock driver and OF clock lookup - adjustment of peripheral drivers after common clock support has become available - removal of migration support and compat workarounds after migration has completed > Please consider that I'm not trying to be pushy :) but that I > want to provide all the possible help and information on how the > series might get applied, assuming that it will pass review.
