This has been stripped back for mainlining and supports only sun7i. These changes are not useful by themselves but are split out to make the patch sizes more manageable.
As well as the following signed-off-by the sunxi branch shows commits to these files authored by the following: Almo Nito Carl van Schaik FUKAUMI Naoki hehopmajieh j Sergey Lapin Tom Cubie
Sorry, this is a NAK for these patches.
"These changes are not useful by themselves but are split out to make the patch sizes more manageable." This is not how we work. Patches have to implement specific features, or fix specific bugs. And they have to maintain bisectability of the code.
And we need a useful commit message that explains clearly what the patch is doing, and why.
And we implement the same Developer's Certificate of Origin as used in Linux, so we need real names and working e-mail addresses in the Signed-off-by lines - a cursory mentioning that some mysterious "j" or some "hehopmajieh" authored some code is not sufficient.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
