Advice on usb-next pull

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Greg,

I've got a potential pull request to send you for usb-next, but I wanted
to get your advice on it first.  It contains a series of patches from
Xenia to remove the xhci_readl/writel variants in order to just replace
them with standard readl and writel calls.

Normally I would queue these for usb-next.  However, any bug fix patch
that will be queued for usb-linus that touches code around xHCI register
reads or writes is going to cause merge conflicts in usb-next.  The
register manipulation is scattered all through the driver, so it's
pretty likely we will get a merge conflict sometime in 3.13.  How do you
want me to handle any merge conflicts, or will you handle them?

The two pull requests I'm considering sending you are:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/sarah/xhci.git/log/?h=for-usb-linus-queue
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/sarah/xhci.git/log/?h=for-usb-next-queue

I've been testing the for-usb-next-queue branch on top of 3.12-rc6 for
the last week, and the patches are stable.
