Note: I will *not* be taking these kinds of pull requests after rc1. If Vega10 is in such bad shape that it will need this kind of stuff and isn't worth shipping without them in 4.12, I will take a *oneline* that just disables it. So no "thousands of lines of fixes for a new driver". Being new to 4.12 isn't an excuse for crazy stuff after the merge window. If it will need more of this kind of attention, all it means is that it shouldn't have been sent to me at all in the first place. The drm subsystem is still on my "no more of this shit" list, so I'm going to be very unforgiving of big pull requests when they aren't appropriate.

It takes the other recipients into account when auto-completing the recipients list, so even if you *normally* send to the new dri list, it might be looking at your historical patterns when sending to me, and then picking the old list by default.

It's already disabled. It probably won't be enabled in your kernel for 1-2 more releases. You can't even get Vega hardware, I can't even get Vega hardware at the moment. For background we've done a lot of work in the graphics community to get vendors to release code for new hardware early so we can get it all lined up in the kernel before the hw ships. Some support would be nice. Vega10 is in bad shape, that's the whole point of merging it early and turned off, so we don't just dump rebased 100 times code into your tree on release day and find it doesn't work, instead AMD can develop other features in their driver for Vega10 and older chips at the same time, without constant rebasing, and fixup their internal and external driver ABIs in an upstream kernel tree, instead of dropping a driver based on Linux 3.10 or something. In saying that, I did think this pull was probably a bit much, so Alex, can you please minimise the Vega churn to -next trees unless changes are needed to fix problems on older GPUs, also I did miss one pull request from Alex in there somewhere, so that might have contributed to the overly large pull.

.. and here's the email repeated for the new dri-devel list, since apparently Dave sent the pull request to the old no-longer-working one that just sends annoying bounces. Dave, time to update your scripts and address book..
