[RFC] When PATCH 1/6 and 2/6 are squashed, checkpatch raises this WARNING:
"DT binding docs and includes should be a separate patch." That's why I
split them in this v5. The problem is that the driver can't be compiled
any more at PATCH 1/6. It needs PATCH 2/6 to be compiled. Should the
checkpatch warning be ignored here ? Should I finally squash PATCH 1/6
and PATCH 2/6 ?
IMHO it might be preferable to preserve successful compilation across
bisection than to appeal to checkpatch in this case.
Or, patch 1 adds the new definitions, subsequent patches convert the
users, and the last patch removes the old, now unused, definitions.
Thanks for this suggestion. I'll do something like that in next version.
