It's sort of frustrating that none of this information was in the commit message. "This code is not ready to be merged into the arch/risc/ directory because the RISC-V Foundation has not certified the hardware spec yet. However, the following chips have implemented it ABC12345, ABC6789 and they've already shipping to thousands of customers since blah blah blah so we should support it." I honestly thought it was an issue with the code or the userspace API. regards, dan carpenter
