It would be good to hear something from him! I don't understand the following comment in patch 0 at that link: > Hi Dimitry- > > Here is a set of patches for atmel_mxt_ts that you've already > signed-off. Surely Dmitry would only have signed off on the patches if he had applied them somewhere. I'm puzzled why he would have applied them but not pushed them out into linux-next. Perhaps he didn't sign off on the patches but rather just said they were OK, or gave an ack? In which case, did you add Dmitry's S-o-b line to the patches yourself? That's certainly not the correct procedure. Perhaps he ignored the patches because of that? Anyway, I'd like to pull these patches into my local repo to build on. Can you point me at a tree where Dmitry applied them even if not in linux-next? Alternatively, does your github repo contain exactly the patches from the recent mailing list posting you linked above? ... > From my point of view, it would be better if everyone with a stake in this > driver worked together to test and review a single set of improvements that > fixed bugs, added new features, and supported new chips, rather than > everyone implementing trivial fixes in various different ways that cause > merge conflicts and strange bugs. Luckily, it doesn't look like it will be too hard to rebase my patches on top of your work. However, I'd really like some feedback from Dmitry re: when and where your patches will be applied, so that I know if/when it makes sense to rebase on top of them.
