It is normal that firmware is *only* tested at a certain point in time with the drm-tip version of the mainline kernel so that the statement 'firmware X is acceptable and healthy to be used with kernel version Y but is not guaranteed with Y+1 or Y+n' always holds true for any microarchitecture codename's DMC firmware. Therefore it is appropriate for this patch to have a restricted 'Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 4.14' tag together with an explicit 'Tested-by: (in 4.14)' tag. 2. As firmware testing was not performed on 4.15 and subsequent versions, testing is still required on versions 4.15 through to the current RC of version 4.17 for the patch to receive a 'Tested-by:' tag together with a 'Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 4.14' tag. 3. Further firmware testing will only be undertaken for the current RC of version 4.17 and on successful completion the patch will only receive a 'Tested-by:' tag. A 'Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' tag is not applicable. 4. The firmware was not tested on 4.15 and subsequent versions as it's functionality was provided by alternative means and therefore the patch is only required in version 4.14 and should have a 'Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 4.14 only' tag together with a restricted 'Tested-by: (only in 4.14)' tag. Could you indicate which alternative is appropriate? If further firmware testing is required (as in points 2 or 3) then can an expected completion date be provided?
