Hello,
I got confused while doing the txt -> yaml conversion at [1] and
it's still not clear to me who should be added in the
"maintainers" field. Clearly not the maintainers as returned by
get_maintainer.pl. :)
Rob mentioned that "owners" should be manintainers but I also have
trouble picking the persons who should be owners / yaml
maintainers.
Looking at the completed bridge conversions in the latest
linux-next, I couldn't find a rule and the majority of bindings
are still txt:
$ find ./devicetree/bindings/display/bridge/ -name *txt | wc -l
23
$ find ./devicetree/bindings/display/bridge/ -name *yaml | wc -l
5
So my questions are:
1. Is there a general rule for assigning yaml file
owners/maintainers?
2. Is this vagueness specific to the bridge dt bindings only?
3. Who should step up and maintain these bindings? Original/new
authors, SoC, bridge, DRM maintainers etc.?
It would be useful to have a rule to make it easier to do these
conversions. We (Collabora) are considering doing the conversion
work.
Thank you,
Adrian
