Hmm... if suitable, next, when I focus one of architectures, I also cc to you, if it can be removed, please let me know in time, so can avoid sending waste mails to mailing list. I plan to try one of architectures within arc, hexagon, and metag. I will begin at 2013-09-20 (or later), if some (or all) of them can be removed, please let me know, thanks. > On the code review side, I had suggested that you should not add new > ifdefs into code, much less unnecessary ones.

To me, that argument is along the line of "the coding > style in this file is bad, let's do more of it". Hmm... in fact, I will not say whether the code style is good or bad. I mainly focus on to try to avoid multiple code styles within one file. extreme sample: let 'kernel code style' and 'gcc code style' in one file, that will make the code very ugly. > That doesn't make much sense to me, so I did not bother to respond. > Setting that aside, it is not up to me to approve or reject your patches. > Whoever does that would be the one you have to convince. > OK, I can understand, and now it seems it can be canceled, since h8300 has been removed. > Guenter > Thanks. -- Chen Gang -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
