Well, then at the next time, please mention it explicitly in the cover letter. Usually this kind of API conversion isn't done during rc. Or it's done systematically via script or such. So unless mentioned, it's not expected to be carried to 5.9.
Sorry for having missed the detail. Will take care of it in the future.
In anyway, if the final purpose is to drop the old tasklet API and that's the plan for 5.9, all tree-wide changes have to be done in 5.9 beforehand. Was that the decision?
The idea was to land the tree-wide changes as part of 5.9
I have a patch set to drop the whole tasklet usage in sound/* (destined for 5.10, to be submitted soon), so if that's for 5.10, it'll be likely superfluous.
I have picked patches from your tree to adapt to this new API. Those can be picked in 5.10 I suppose.
Adapting the changes are trivial, don't worry. It was just a question of how to organize changes.
Sure, Thank you.
