Your new usage introduced in the recent merge window is what has resulted in you becoming aware of this series. It was developed before April through discussions, and then shared with those people. Then, April 27th, it was posted publically to all the recipients except yourself (because Exynos hadn't visibly been converted). At that time, two reviewed-by tags were given. It was also sent out last week, with yourself added to the recepient list because there is now a dependency with some of your work. However, what I'm asking for is *not* the entire series to be merged at this point - that would break Exynos DRM. I'm asking for the first three to be merged initially by Greg, which gets the new interface in place without breaking existing users. We can then convert existing users at a slower rate, and remove the old interface once everyone has caught up. So, I'd ask that you give priority to looking at the first three patches and deciding whether you find them acceptable as a replacement interface, rather than trying to review the entire set of six core patches (1,2,3,6,7,8). What I'm trying to avoid here is for all these patches to be delayed past the next merge window, and pushed into the next cycle. That's likely to end up in the same scenario as exists with Exynos DRM today, only with other new users of the existing interface - and then have to repeat this whole "try to get the new users to review this set of changes" cycle again. We're half way through -rc3 right now. -final occurs anytime between -rc6 and -rc9, which could be just three and a half weeks away. I have other changes which I need to get out onto the list(s) which depend on this too (for DRM) which I'm hoping to also make this coming merge window, but I can't start that process until I know where I stand with these. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: now at 9.7Mbps down 460kbps up... slowly improving, and getting towards what was expected from it. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
