Out of curiosity: I might be missing something, but why wasn't the
(afaics simple) fix for a build problem caused by 9d6366e743f3 ("drm:
fb_helper: improve CONFIG_FB dependency") (merged for v5.16-rc1) not
among these fixes? I mean this one:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220203093922.20754-1-tzimmermann@xxxxxxx/
It's sitting in next for a few days already:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?h=master&id=eea89dff4c39a106f98d1cb5e4d626f8c63908b9
I already asked a few days ago why this fix was not on track for merging
in this cycle, but I didn't get an answer:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/782a683e-c625-8e68-899b-ce56939afece@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
Fun fact: It seems the problem and at a rough fix were already kinda
known mid November when 9d6366e743f3 was still in next:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211117062704.14671-1-rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
Then the issue was reported again two times in February:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/CA+G9fYvN0NyaVkRQmA1O6rX7H8PPaZrUAD7=RDy33QY9rUU-9g@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YhofdlzadzRmy7tj@debian/
And the fix is relative simple, that's why I wonder why merging is
delayed. What am I missing?
Ciao, Thorsten
