If we agree in principle, I would like to have the very first 3 patches in an immutable branch off maybe -rc8 so that it can be pulled into individual subsystems so that patches switching various drivers to fwnode_gpiod_get_index() could be applied.
I think it seems a bit enthusiastic to have non-GPIO subsystems pick up these changes this close to the merge window so my plan is to merge patches 1.2.3 (1 already merged) and then you could massage the other subsystems in v5.4-rc1.
But if other subsystems say "hey we want do fix this in like 3 days" then I'm game for an immutable branch as well.
No, if it is still has a chance for -rc1 then I'm good. I was thinking if it does not go into -rc1 I could convince some of them merge a targeted immutable branch off -rc8 or 5.3 final and then apply patches relevant to their subsystems so we do not have to wait till 5.6 to land everything.
So I guess we missed -rc1. Any chance we could get an immutable branch off -rc1 that you will pull into your main branch and I hopefully can persuade other maintainers to pull as well so we do not need to drag it over 2+ merge windows?
Thanks.
