There have been some valid but (iirc) non-vocal objections to the Thumb-2 support from a few people. The biggest one is all the mess associated with supporting this "unified" assembler stuff. My view is that I really don't like these patches; they make the code very unreadable and more prone to errors. They're going to cause us lots of problems in the future. Every git merge which touches any ARM file containing assembly is going to have to be _very_ carefully reviewed, and it's not always possible to catch all of those. The only suggestion I have to improving the situation is to recommend that someone rethinks their wizzy new assembly language format - which IMHO is currently only fit for "write once, read or modify never" assembly code. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
