not sure about staging, but could make sense to mark as experimental. > Arnd, Dave: do you have any preference on the path it takes to get > merged? In my mind, Linaro tree might make more sense, but I would > leave it upto you gentlemen. Looks like Dave is making some progress on drm usage of buffer sharing between gpu's.. if that is ready to go in at the same time, it might be a bit logistically simpler for him to put dmabuf in the same pull req. I don't have strong preference one way or another, so do what is collectively simpler ;-) BR, -R >> >> Dave. > Best regards, > ~Sumit. > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in > the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
