Catalin, Sudeep,
Hanjun, Al, Graeme and the whole team discuss and review all such patches on the linaro-acpi list before sending them out.
Yes I have subscribed to that list and even interacted couple of times. Only problem I see there is that the patches posted there are mostly based on Linaro tree which has whole lot of other changes rather than mainline.
It did while we were prototyping, it no longer does.
I see, that's good.
Would it make sense to discuss all these points on such list instead of creating such confusion with the broader linux-acpi or lkml? Even more as Sudeep seems working deeply on ACPI now, it would be very beneficial.
Yes, but these reworked patches were not posted just on linaro-acpi list. I have no problem reviewing on any list as long as its based on mainline. I have started looking at the linaro tree, but it has several other changes, so bit hard for me to follow now as it has several months of ACPI work by Linaro.
The construction of the linaro branches is as follows.
mainline->acpi-mainline-core->acpi-core->acpi-drivers
acpi-mainline-core is the patch series as it is sent by Hanjun acpi-core is stuff we are currently working on which has not been sent yet acpi-drivers is the drivers needed to boot on model, which are probably never destined for mainline.
Thanks for this info that's useful, I started initially to follow these branches on similar thoughts based on the names, but then started following another tree after seeing the mail "leg-kernel tag leg-20140217.0 released", mainly because I wanted to get the similar set-up at my end before LCA14 so that I have some understanding on what's done so far. That may be the reason why I saw lot of other changes in the tree, so for that.
I thought I had sent the note detailing this to linaro-acpi but I might have messed up, Ill check and resend later.
Hmm, I don't remember seeing such a mail, may be I might have missed or accidentally deleted it.
Regards, Sudeep
