Please don't post new threads as followups to old threads, it makes things harder to follow in threaded mail readers.
I did that because they are a big series, though some of the patches can be standalone.
That doesn't seem to be related to my point? I'm asking you to not reply to an old version of your patch series in order to post a new version of it, just post the new version.
This is the first version of this series.
Your covering message for this series of six patches:
From: Shawn Guo shawn.guo@linaro.org To: alsa-devel@alsa-project.org Subject: [PATCH 0/6] ASoC: a few cleanups on sound/soc/fsl Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 22:09:35 +0800 Message-Id: 1330092582-21180-1-git-send-email-shawn.guo@linaro.org X-Mailer: git-send-email 1.7.5.4 In-Reply-To: 1329979644-31046-1-git-send-email-shawn.guo@linaro.org ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ References: 1329979644-31046-1-git-send-email-shawn.guo@linaro.org ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Your patch 1 from a previous series:
From: Shawn Guo shawn.guo@linaro.org To: alsa-devel@alsa-project.org Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ASoC: imx: let SND_MXC_SOC_FIQ select FIQ Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 14:47:21 +0800 Message-Id: 1329979644-31046-1-git-send-email-shawn.guo@linaro.org ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Notice the same message ids. That means your covering letter with subject "[PATCH 0/6] ASoC: a few cleanups on sound/soc/fsl" is a reply to your "[PATCH 1/4] ASoC: imx: let SND_MXC_SOC_FIQ select FIQ" message.
Consequently anyone who reads list mail by threads gets your new series of six patches attached to your previous series of four patches. That can be extremely annoying, especially when it ends up being buried in peoples mailboxes as a direct result of threaded sorting - and it's a recipe for your patches to be ignored.
Sorry about that. But they are not separate patch series but belong to one big series. It seems it's a bad idea to post one big series in such a way. Will stop doing it.
