My apologies for not reading the previous versions. I don't think it's
unusual that a reviewer should expect everything he to know about a
series (including how it was tested) is in the cover letter or in the
changelogs of the latest series. I don't expect to have to look through
all the previous versions for this kind of info. Since I wasn't around
to review/test the earlier versions, I just looked at the latest (v4)
and didn't see any mention of testing of any sort in the cover letter.
Looking back at the previous cover letters, I don't see any description
of the PM testing either. I only see it was tested on pandaboard.
Since mainline doesn't have full PM support for OMAP4, testing on panda
doesn't really test UART PM at all.
Could you please point me to the descriptions in earlier mails of how
you did PM testing, and on what platforms?
In addition, IMO, if this was only tested on Panda (as suggested by
earlier cover letters), it really should not have been merged until it
got some broader testing.

As I reported in my reply to [PATCH v4 20/21], that patch also had
another problem where it introduced a new (but unused) field. Maybe
another rebase problem? I see the same problem in v3 and v4.

Whoa. This was only test report. No need to get personal. All I said
is that it "seemed" to introduced by $SUBJECT series. Hardly waiving
"blame hammer."
And yes, I did check without your series. As I reported above, the
warning didn't exist with v3.6-rc4, and it did with yesterday's tty-next
branch. The WARNING pointed a finger at ttyO (omap-serial) so I assumed
it was in $SUBJECT series.
Testing with todays tty-next, the problem is gone. The patch
'tty_register_device_attr updated for tty-next'[1] seems to have made
the problem go away. So it's now clear that it wasn't introduced by
$SUBJECT series. My bad.
Yesterday, it wasn't that obvious, so I made an assumption in order to
report a problem uncovered in my testing in the hopes that it would be
helpful to you in fixing a potential problem. My assumption was wrong, I
was wrong. I'm wrong a lot, and I'm OK with that. The bug was
elsewhere, and is already fixed.
My apologies if it seemed like I was blaming you.
