/* XXX: Kernel-Upstream: TODO: Upstream (pull changes) */Do we really want to sprinkle these comments in u-boot upstream?
I have no other means to indicate that these nodes need to get to upstream kernel and when they do get into upstream kernel, what needs to be dropped from u-boot.
I am open to suggestions here.
If we are quite sure this makes to upstream kernel we might as well pull them into u-boot as is.
No, that has been the reason why the entire dt mismatch occurred in the first place. the subjective evaluation from various devs have been way off. if it makes it to kernel.org master, only then can we claim that the changes are in upstream.
In that case we do not accept any DT patches in u-boot till at least Acked by kernel maintainer?
My 2 cents: Given that: a) until the maintainer sends a tag to upstream merge, things are'nt really final and patches still have been dropped and/or modified (not typically, but have happened) b) the delay between a tag and final merge is just a few weeks
We should hold the master tag as baseline at least till things settle down, prior to relaxing rules to what is reasonable.
