Why can't Jisheng Zhang base his patches on top of Mark's changes and place the new file directly under drivers/ ? Why do it as a two-step process with it first appearing in arch/arm, and then having to generate another patch at a later date to move it elsewhere. That just creates more noise, and we should be avoiding generating noise in arch/arm. This is what Linus has said in his -rc4 release notes yesterday: Other than that issue, it's mostly drivers and networking. USB, gpu, mmc, network drivers, sound. With some ARM noise (but even that is mostly driver-related: dts updates due to MMC fixes). And a few small filesystem fixes. and we can infer from the phrase "ARM noise" that Linus' opinion of arch/arm is still fairly low, and still doesn't regard the "churn" in arch/arm as being useful. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 10.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
