I'm very concerned about this statement. Yes, it would be nice if all HW was sanely designed, but it's not always. The time to push back on bad HW design is during IP licensing agreements or HW design reviews, not upstreaming. Any pushback during SW upstreaming simply serves to make it difficult for the SW people doing the upstreaming. It has zero impact on the current HW design (it's already shipped). It probably has zero impact on the next N revisions of the HW (they're already baked). It's possible it has zero-to-minimal impact on any future HW (end-user product requirements are what matter most). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
