I still don't know exactly what happened there... I think I saw some "OpenFirmware i2c" patches go upstream yesterday? But not the ones listed below, which I thought they depended upon. > > The required patches are: > > > > http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=17833 > > http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=17834 > > > > which are just the forward ported patches you sent to the poweprc mailing > > list some time ago: > > > > http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=16282 > > http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=16283 > > Given that the required patches are just forward-ported versions of patches > you sent (and thus probably reviewed as well :-)), what's the best way to get > them in 2.6.26 (if at all possible) ? It's not that easy. A lot of new new-style i2c drivers have shown up in the kernel since I wrote my patches (themselves derived heavily from Jon Smirl's). Even if Jochen's patches are based on mine, we still need to take a careful look on how each driver is modified, I remember for example that some v4l drivers were using the original new-style driver binding in a way I did not expect. So I can't just sign these patches and hope they didn't break anything. It needs care, and this requires time. I will do my best to get this done before the 2.6.26 merge window closes, but I can't promise anything. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
