Yeah occasionally big series is totally fine for -misc. We're pulling in pretty big amounts of refactoring all the time, so really doesn't make a difference. > I haven't seen a need to have a maintained branch for omapdrm, as multiple > people working on conflicting items has been very rare (there aren't that > many people working on omapdrm).

I think tilcdc and omapdrm should both easily fit (maybe after the big rewrite). If the shiny new one here becomes too big we can always reconsider. I think the really big drivers like amdgpu or intel don't belong in -misc, that one is clear. In between I guess we'll see. > I'm fine with all options, so I think we can go with whatever is most > acceptable from DRM maintainer point of view. Whatever floats the boat, with a preference for not having tiny trees (simply because those pull request tend to get lost in the noise). -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
