Re: [PATCH v22 00/11] acpi, clocksource: add GTDT driver and GTDT support in arm_arch_timer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Jon,

Thanks for your email
 An hour ago, I just got some feedback from Lorenzo, will update my
patchset ASAP according to his suggestion.

But I still need some feedback form Mark, I can see some progress here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=arch-timer/gtdt

I guess I should rebase my patchset to his gtdt branch for v23.

So now, I am waiting for Mark's feedback to move on.
