It's usually pretty early but Takashi will be on holiday this time so I'm not sure if things might be different (he was going to send the pull request from holiday). I also didn't guarantee that it'll be stable yet, can someone please tell me what the depenency is here?
We need the patch to have all imx drivers mach/* inclusion free, so that we can enable multi-platform support for imx, which is the whole point of the series.
That doesn't answer the question. What is the dependency - what is it about this patch that something else depends on? Your cover letters just say you'd like to do this but don't mention dependencies at all and when I asked the question last night you said the same thing. I've not seen the rest of the series...
Ah, right. You did get copied on the whole series. So the whole point of patch "ASoC: mx27vis: retrieve gpio numbers from platform_data" is to get rid of inclusion mach/iomux-mx27.h. This has to be done before we enable multi-platform support for imx, since mach/* has to be removed completely for multi-platform build.
If your for-3.7 is not stable anyway, I guess the easiest the way
It probably *is* stable but I'm not enthused about people pulling unsigned tags. I might rebase, though - I'm going to finalise the tree in the next few days.
to do it might be you drop the patch "ASoC: mx27vis: retrieve gpio numbers from platform_data" from your tree and I have it be part of the series to go via arm-soc tree as a whole. (This is the original plan that I mentioned in v1 cover letter)
You just mentioned it as a preference (you said it's something you'd like to do), please if you're doing this sort of cross tree thing be explicit about what the inter-tree relationships are. If things need to go in via the same tree say so explicitly (and ideally say way this is).
Ok, my bad.
The main reason I applied it straight away was that Javier mentioned that it was a bug fix and it's near the merge window and these random ARM cleanup serieses never seem to go in quickly.
The series is planned for 3.7 merge window. Is it still possible for you to drop the patch from your tree to ease the process? Or I will hold my pull-request to arm-soc until you tell me you have your tree finalized.
