Hi Xinliang
As Maintainers can we please get some feedback from one of you. Just an "OK to commit" would do it. But preferably an ack or a review on the individual patches.
As I have done a pre-review and talked with the author before sending out the patches. So, for this serial patches, Acked-by: Xinliang Liu z.liuxinliang@hisilicon.com
Thanks! We all know how it is to be busy, especially when trying to keep up after role changes. Unless someone beats me, then I will apply tonight or tomorrow.
If the reality is that John is the Maintainer today, then we should update MAINTAINERS to reflect this.
I am assuming you are talking about the kirin[1] drm driver not the hibmc[2] one, right? I really appreciate John's awesome work at kirin drm driver all the way. Honestly, after my work change from mobile to server years ago, I am always waiting for some guy who is stably working at kirin drm driver to take the maintenance work. John, surely is a such guy. Please add up a patch to update the maintainer as John, if John agree so. Then John can push the patch set to drm maintainer himself. *Note* that the maintainer patch should break hisilicon drivers into kirin and hibmc two parts, like bellow:
DRM DRIVERS FOR HISILICON HIBMC M: Xinliang Liu z.liuxinliang@hisilicon.com ... F: drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/hibmc ...
DRM DRIVERS FOR HISILICON KIRIN M: John Stultz john.stultz@linaro.org ... F: drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/kirin ...
[1] drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/kirin # for kirin mobile display driver [2] drivers/gpu/drm/hisilicon/hibmc # for server VGA driver
Hi John
Up to the challenge? If yes then please consider to apply for commit rights to drm-misc-next.
And read: https://drm.pages.freedesktop.org/maintainer-tools/index.html
See this to get an account: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests/
You will need an ssh account for drm-misc-next as it is not (yet?) gitlab enabled.
