Inclusion of linux-rockchip into linux-next?
Hi Stephen,
not sure if there is some expected protocol to follow for linux-next inclusions (basic search didn't turn up anything of that type).
Anyway, could you include the following tree into linux-next please?
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmind/linux-rockchip.git
branch for-next
It looks like some kernelci people want to do testing a bit earlier than my pulls to arm-soc, so it would be nice to have rockchip-specific changes in next.
Thanks
Heiko

You may need to be a bit more careful about Signed-off-by lines - for example, commit cb8cc37f4d38 ("ARM: rockchip: fix broken build") has no Signed-off-by from its author.
Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next. As you may know, this is not a judgment of your code. The purpose of linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window.
You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have been:
* submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's Signed-off-by,
* posted to the relevant mailing list,
* reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
* successfully unit tested, and
* destined for the current or next Linux merge window.
Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him to fetch). It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.

You had me worried that I messed up for a bit here. But the commit actually does have a Signed-off-by from Caesar Wang (just above a small comment by myself). I guess mixing Signed-off-lines with additional info is not the easiest thing to read, so I'll probably try to stay away from it in the future.
