Either way it remains bisect-able since each driver is changed individually. There is no need to merge them in one go but since it is that small it probably makes sense. But I don't do the logistics here.
Okay, this is what I was asking.
So there aren't any hard dependencies between the driver changes?
Only the drivers are dependent on the API.
Correct.
So, if we choose to do so, we can merge the API and then subsequently add the users one by one into their respective subsystem, in any order. This would save on creating an immutable topic branch which we all pull from.
What is your preference Thomas?
I suggest doing it the following way:
1) I apply 1/7 on top of -rc5 and tag it
2) Driver maintainers who want to merge via their trees pull that tag apply the relevant driver changes
3) I collect the leftovers and merge them via irq/core
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
