BTW, it would be great if exynos-drm-next is pulled in linux-next. That is what most people use to test integration issues so you can catch earlier any regression that may arise.
You have to email Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au and point to your tree and branch and he will be able to add it to linux-next.
Thanks for information. Actually, I received a similar email privately before. However, exynos-drm-next should go to drm-next first and than to mainline by Dave who is DRM subsystem maintainer. I think all vendor specific drm drivers would need to be checked by drm subsystem maintainer because these changes might be affect drm subsystem or other vendor specific drm drivers before go to mainline.
This is orthogonal to the normal upstreaming path. linux-next is an integration tree that is created daily. So all the remote branches are merged and a git tag published. The branch does not get rebased and history is not preserved between two published linux-next tags.
This is just to test the integration of different subsystems to be sure that a commit in one tree does not cause a regression in another one so issues can be spot earlier. For example in the case of $subject, a change in the OF caused a regression in the Exynos DRM driver.
If needed, I will make a new branch, which is based on top of linux-next so other people can check their systems.
You don't really need another branch, git will take care of merge everything in linux-next :)
Ah, sorry. There was my misunderstanding. drm-next already is merged to linux-next so I think we can do the integration test if exynos-drm-next is merged to drm-next earlier. Anyway, I will try to consider your opinion.
Thanks, Inki Dae
