How are the fixes which land in linux-stable handled now ?
Firstly, all the fixes land in the Linux mainline tree, then at every rc* release those would be mirrored into devicetree-rebasing repo. And then if there is a critical fix to address DT ABI breakage for U-Boot (for at least a single board) then they just need to notify us with the fix commit ID to be picked up. Or if people are willing to use the dts/update-dts-subtree.sh script themselves then we are happy to accept patches too.
BTW, we will also work with Linux DT maintainers to improve DT ABI maintenance towards U-Boot.
Do I have to duplicate the work which is already being done by the linux-stable maintainers ?
No, we don't have to backport all the fixes as they will make their way automatically via the next subtree pull. As above we are only concerned about fixes which are required to maintain DT ABI towards U-Boot.
Gentle ping. I hope my comments above address your concerns.
