I support you, let's don't sink. Since it evokes questions I'm ready to provide you with more background information.
Afaict this is the most common (?) driver in DRM where the list has grown over time. Should we do the same with others ?
If you look into the essense of this change it adds support to an I2C master controller, which is a part of DW HDMI controller. Originally this particular change was done as a separate driver in I2C subsystem about 3 years ago and delivered to the customers, about 2 years ago I published its RFC version: RFC: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/405100/ v1 discussion: http://www.mailbrowse.com/linux-i2c/20949.html As you may see this was a stand-alone driver, which served as the fourth I2C master controller on iMX6Q, however I believe it is better to merge two drivers into one. Does it sound like a good enough reason to merge lists of authors as well? Hope it clarifies the situation a bit. -- With best wishes, Vladimir -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
