Do you plan to respin the OF parts at least soon? There's another
problem Guenter found that of_fdt_unflatten_tree is not re-entrant due
to "depth" being static and this series fixes that. So I'd rather
apply this and avoid adding a mutex if possible.


Gavin is on vacation until next year.


That is a bit more than the timeline I am looking for.

Rob, any chance to accept my patch for now ? After all, it can be
reverted after the rework is complete, and it would be easier
to apply to earlier kernels.

Yes, will do. It's only 4.1 and later that it should be marked for stable?


Yes, I think so. Earlier kernels would need a manual backport.

Thanks,
Guenter
