Patches 2 through 5 are just a refresh of the patches from Matthew
Garrett sent to this list in September 2010 [1]:

Patch 1 is a new patch incorporating the corrections from James
Bottomley. Patch 6, 7 and 8 make the whole patch set actually work
on my
test hardware (Thinkpad x60/Thinkpad T60) by fixing minor issues
and
compensating changes after the first submission.

All patches now contain the correct Signed-off-by instead of
Acked-by
tags.

[PATCH 1/8] scsi: Add wrapper to access and set scsi_bus_type in
struct
acpi_bus_type
[PATCH 2/8] libata: Bind the Linux device tree to the ACPI device
tree
[PATCH 3/8] libata: Migrate ACPI code over to new bindings
[PATCH 4/8] acpi: Add support for linking docks to the objects they
contain
[PATCH 5/8] libata: Add links between removable devices and docks
[PATCH 6/8] libata: Generate and pass correct acpi handles
[PATCH 7/8] acpi: Prevent duplicate hotplug device registration on
dock
stations
[PATCH 8/8] libata: Use correct PCI devices


Hi Holger,

What's the status of these patches?


They've been ACKed by both ACPI (Len Brown) and libata (James
Bottomley)
people, so I guess they are good to go and I'm waiting for someone
(Jeff
Garzik?) to pick them up.


I ACK'd for libata. It's queued in libata-dev... but looks like
that did
not get pushed out. Should show up in the next linux-next.

Jeff

Hi,

I didn't find these patches in libata-dev tree.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git

They've been there, also in linux-next. But now I'm not able to find a
trace of them. Maybe the two fixes from the thread labeled "linux-next:
dock_link_device is oopsy" on linux-kernel@ didn't find their way into
the trees and so the patches were removed. Just guessing...

Regards,
Holger

Are they removed for some reason?

They were removed because people had problems with them, and the patch
authors did not engage and fix the problem(s). Matthew Garrett spoke up
and said he didn't have time to investigate, so the patches were dropped.

Do you have a pointer for the problems?

You were CC'd...

Ok, found them. However, wouldn't have made a difference because the solution doesn't seem to be easy. And I currently also don't have the time to do massive investigations. What a pity, but maybe a future time...

Thanks,
 Holger
