Hi,
According to the explanations below, "superseded" means, that either a
newer version of the patch is available, or it's been included in a pull
request. Since I don't see a newer version, I should assume, that it's
been included in a pull request. However, I don't see one on linux-media
either. How am I supposed to track such patch status changes?
Thanks
Guennadi

Subject: [linux-media] Patch notification: 1 patch updated
Hello,
The following patch (submitted by you) has been updated in patchwork:
* linux-media: V4L: add Y12I, Y8I and Z16 pixel format documentation
- http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/32257/
- for: Linux Media kernel patches
was: New
now: Superseded
This email is a notification only - you do not need to respond.

Patches submitted to linux-media@vger.kernel.org have the following
possible states:
New: Patches not yet reviewed (typically new patches);
Under review: When it is expected that someone is reviewing it (typically,
the driver's author or maintainer). Unfortunately, patchwork
doesn't have a field to indicate who is the driver maintainer.
If in doubt about who is the driver maintainer please check the
MAINTAINERS file or ask at the ML;
Superseded: when the same patch is sent twice, or a new version of the
same patch is sent, and the maintainer identified it, the first
version is marked as such. It is also used when a patch was
superseeded by a git pull request.
Obsoleted: patch doesn't apply anymore, because the modified code doesn't
exist anymore.
Changes requested: when someone requests changes at the patch;
Rejected: When the patch is wrong or doesn't apply. Most of the
time, 'rejected' and 'changes requested' means the same thing
for the developer: he'll need to re-work on the patch.
RFC: patches marked as such and other patches that are also RFC, but the
patch author was not nice enough to mark them as such. That includes:
- patches sent by a driver's maintainer who send patches
via git pull requests;
- patches with a very active community (typically from developers
working with embedded devices), where lots of versions are
needed for the driver maintainer and/or the community to be
happy with.
Not Applicable: for patches that aren't meant to be applicable via
the media-tree.git.
Accepted: when some driver maintainer says that the patch will be applied
via his tree, or when everything is ok and it got applied
either at the main tree or via some other tree (fixes tree;
some other maintainer's tree - when it belongs to other subsystems,
etc);
If you think any status change is a mistake, please send an email to the ML.
