IMO splitting up the Qualcomm Bluetooth > patch into two patches doesn't help enough with clarity to justify. I did that in v2 because then the two patches had to be split to facilitate backporting as wcn3991 support was added later. But the big issue here is taking the patches through different trees. If Bjorn could ack the DT patch so that everything goes through the Bluetooth tree, then I guess I can reorder the DT patch and squash the two driver patches. But waiting several weeks just to make sure that the DT patch hits mainline (and the binding patch before that?) before the driver fixes can go in just does not seem worth it to me. > > I don't think it's worth spending more time and effort on this issue > > (which should have been caught and fixed years ago) for this. > > Sure, that's your opinion and if the BT folks agree with you then they > are free to land the patches without my Reviewed-by on them. ;-) Mine > is not a strong Nak but I feel strongly enough that I'd prefer not to > have my Reviewed-by added without the re-organization. Of course, understood. Johan
