DT maintainers,
I understand you guys are swamped with reviewing atm. This binding in
particular is complicated, has a long history (9 versions just for the
devicetree binding itself), and no one wants to commit to supporting it
forever without fully understanding where it came from and why it's
needed.
On the other side of the coin, we have other patches depending on this
work, and the submitters have been more than patient with the process
(and the maintainership change). I'd prefer not to delay it if it can
be helped.
So here's my proposal: Let use this as a guinea pig for the 'unstable'
class of bindings. eg s:/bindings/:/bindings/unstable/: and merge it
in.
As we've said a couple of times, Arnd Bergmann has helped out plenty
with developing this binding, but he's not available for the next few
months. So unless we do something, we're essentially starting over from
scratch.
As a side note, Olof prefers all pull requests be sent by -rc6, which
means I'd like to have the patches in by -rc5 so they get some coverage
in -next before I send the PR to Olof. Which means time is getting
short :)
thx,
Jason.
