Given that the compat module is shared, and a quite a bit of other code / style is shared, and I'd love to see us start to formalize documenting collateral evolutions on the kernel in one place I'd like to propose to you merging this into compat-wirless and we then rename the project to compat-drivers, with you maintaining the drm components. This also gives us an already established quick outlet for redistribution as well. What do you think?
Okay, this makes sense.
Some comments:
In the patches/ directory if you can add a description on the top of each patch explaining *why* that collateral evolution was not backportable through compat it would help. It sets the standard for others introducing similar types of patches.
Ah I forgot about this :)
For patches/00-vga_switcheroo_client_ops.patch:
I wonder if you may be able to get rid of this patch. The attached patch is an RFC patch for compat.git which explains how I'm thinking this may be possible, I don't have time to test it but let me know what you think.
Okay will test and try to drop the patch as well.
Thanks :)
