I am not too happy about that. This situation activates the kernel management style document so I advise involved parties to familiarize themselves with it: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/management-style.html Can we get the discussion down to actual technical points? We really need a virtio GPIO driver, no doubt, so if everyone could just work toward that goal and compromise with their specific pet peeves that would be great. Yours, Linus Walleij
