So why is it copied to: devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - a kernel mailing list linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - the main kernel mailing list linux-gpio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - the gpio driver kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - the ARM kernel mailing list Given that it includes four kernel mailing lists (ok, devicetree may be argued to have a wider application), then I don't think the conclusion that "it's for u-boot, because there's _one_ u-boot mailing list in the recipients" is particularly obvious. The author really needs to state that up front if they're sending it to a wide audeience, rather than leaving people to guess, thereby potentially wasting their time. Not only did Andrew review the patch as if it were for the kernel, but I also wasted time on this as well when I double-took the ifdefs, and wanted to check the current driver in the kernel. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 10.2Mbps down 587kbps up
