Hi Inki,

Hi Dave,
     Sorry for late.
     This pull request includes MIPI-DSI driver, two panel drivers,
     super device support, and relevant dt bindings.

Summaries:
- Add MIPI-DSI Driver, and dt bindigs
- Add S6E8AA0 MIPI-DSI based panel drivers, and dt bindings
- Add LD9040 parallel panel driver
    . this driver is placed in drivers/gpu/drm/panel, and it seems
      to be used for exynos drm as of now,
- Add super device support, and dt bindings
    . this patch resolves the probe order issue to sub drivers
      without specific lists

I don't think the DT bindings have been Acked by DT maintainers, which is
necessary to merge them.

Also I believe more discussion is needed on this, but I didn't have time
to comment on this series yet. Please hold off with merging the supernode
series yet.

I sent a email about review request to you but I didn't get any answer from
you.

It's been just three days ago and I just didn't find time yet to review them. I would like to be able to review all the patches straight after them being posted, but unfortunately that's not the only thing I have to do.

Anyway, a common practice in open source world is to let the patches wait on the mailing lists for two weeks for people to find some time to review them and only then apply. There might be people that don't work full time on this area, but still would be interested to do a review in some free time.

Also, neither version of this series have been posted to linux-samsung-soc mailing list, which is also a key to have a broader review. Note that this ML is listed in MAINTAINERS file for all kernel files with "exynos" in name.

N:      exynos


And I think super node concept was already accepted, and relevant
codes, component framework, has already been merged to mainline. And Linux
staging next has already such dt bindings. Please see imx dts files.

Yes, they are, but for other platforms not this particular instance.

Any new DT bindings introduced are needed to have an ACK from one of DT maintainers to be merged, unless you can't get any reply from any of them for a longer time, usually 3 weeks from posting the series to be applied.

Of course standard pinging rules apply, so you should ping DT maintainers first before applying such series.


I hope this time this series would be merged to mainline so that we could go
to next step, integrating drm_panel and drm_bridge framework to one
integrated drm_bridge. So Can you hurry up to review it a bit? I'll wait for
your ack.

I don't think there is any need to hurry up with this particular series for this release. I'd recommend sending a pull request with remaining patches separately, as the supernode is not required to make anything work, rather than being just a refactor.

Best regards,
Tomasz
