Hi!

This looks like a cleanup, we should not need it in stable.

This is an API tweak, not a bugfix. This will have negative impact on users upgrading from 4.14.309 and 4.14.310, because you can be pretty sure someone out there uses the "old" interface in their application. I'm probably responsible for that sin in millipixels fork.

Best regards,
Pavel

Totally agree here.

With best wishes

Now dropped, thanks.

greg k-h

Now removed.

They would have the same "impact" when moving to a newer kernel anyway, so this seems like a valid bugfix to me.

thanks,

Hello Greg,

It sounds like there may be an -rc3 on the way, but for what it's worth...

CIP configurations built and booted with Linux 4.14.310-rc2 (12379b7d143a):

Kind regards, Chris

There is? Only for 4.19.y.

thanks,

greg k-h

Hello Greg,

Ah, I was referring to you saying you'd drop "clk: qcom: mmcc-apq8084: remove spdm clocks". I was assuming that meant another RC.
/me must stop assuming things...

Chris

Dropping a patch that is not causing build or test errors generally does not mean a new -rc is to be released .

thanks,

greg k-h
