Hi Inki,

Hi Dave,
      Sorry for late.
      This pull request includes MIPI-DSI driver, two panel drivers,
      super device support, and relevant dt bindings.

Summaries:
- Add MIPI-DSI Driver, and dt bindigs
- Add S6E8AA0 MIPI-DSI based panel drivers, and dt bindings
- Add LD9040 parallel panel driver
     . this driver is placed in drivers/gpu/drm/panel, and it seems
       to be used for exynos drm as of now,
- Add super device support, and dt bindings
     . this patch resolves the probe order issue to sub drivers
       without specific lists

I don't think the DT bindings have been Acked by DT maintainers,
which is necessary to merge them.

Also I believe more discussion is needed on this, but I didn't have
time to comment on this series yet. Please hold off with merging the
supernode series yet.

I sent a email about review request to you but I didn't get any answer
from you.

It's been just three days ago and I just didn't find time yet to review

No, the email was just ping. My original RFC patch series had been posted
March 3, about 1 month ago, And for my official patch series, eight days
ago.
So the email I sent three days ago was just a ping that I requested for you
to review the patch series.

As I said, it was not even posted to samsung-soc, the central ML for Samsung SoC related patches, as mandated by MAINTAINERS file. I learned about its presence just after your ping.

them. I would like to be able to review all the patches straight after
them being posted, but unfortunately that's not the only thing I have to
do.


So I think there was no any comments from you for a long time.

Anyway, a common practice in open source world is to let the patches wait
on the mailing lists for two weeks for people to find some time to review
them and only then apply. There might be people that don't work full time
on this area, but still would be interested to do a review in some free
time.

Also, neither version of this series have been posted to linux-samsung-soc
mailing list, which is also a key to have a broader review. Note that this
ML is listed in MAINTAINERS file for all kernel files with "exynos" in
name.

And I think super node concept was already accepted, and relevant
codes, component framework, has already been merged to mainline. And
Linux staging next has already such dt bindings. Please see imx dts
files.

Yes, they are, but for other platforms not this particular instance.

Any new DT bindings introduced are needed to have an ACK from one of DT
maintainers to be merged, unless you can't get any reply from any of them
for a longer time, usually 3 weeks from posting the series to be applied.

So should I wait for more times?


Since this series is not a dependency for any other patches queued for this release and it doesn't add any new functionality, I don't think there is any need to hurry with it.


Of course standard pinging rules apply, so you should ping DT maintainers
first before applying such series.


The email I sent to you three days ago was that.

Unfortunately I'm not a DT maintainer, so I don't qualify here. You can see list of DT maintainers in MAINTAINERS file:
