Not that I'm aware of, they were from patchwork, they were a newer
version of a patch set we had already pulled in that I retrieved from
the arm-kernel list patchwork, we often do that on Arm on Fedora
around enablement of popular devices.
Ah, ok. Yeah, I discussed with Justin awhile ago, about just taking patches
for Fedora from folks he trusted were taking upstream committed patches
because that is the speed Fedora is used to. I will chat with Red Hat folks
about what can be done to not get in the way.
In general the concern is to make sure non-upstream'd accepted patches get reviewed.
So pointing to upstream commits is the easiest way to reduce that concern
(at least submaintainer commit ids as those will be the same in Linus's
tree). Yeah, I know your arm patches have zero effect on RHEL.
Patchwork patches don't have those ids, but I would think they are in an
arm-next branch or something??
I will work on some ideas to not negatively impact your contributions.
Thanks!
Cheers,
