We're still in the merge window, so I don't want to add stuff to linux-next yet that is destined for 3.2, and I have already sent out all the arm-soc patches for the 3.1 merge window, so I don't really want to send another round of patches at the last minute.

I've repeatedly given announcements about the state of the arm-soc tree and asked people to send patches they want in 3.1, and you actually sent bug fixes that way earlier. You've had more than enough time before the merge window, and would even have made an exception if you had sent your stuff a few hours earlier, before I sent everything to Linus. Also, the branch you sent me was created on the same day, meaning that it can't possibly have had a lot of testing (though it looks harmless enough). When you send a pull request, the patches should always be based on an -rc or main release to simplify the merge history, and it's better not to rebase to the latest one if you already have the patches. I've put it into the for-next branch now, and rebased to the previous tag from the upstream kernel (v3.0). I've also fixed up a trivial bug I noticed the last time I looked at the patches (the extraneous at91_readl function). Arnd

Please don't do that. It is best if you keep the same branch content identical to what has been tested and validated for a while. > so as the merge is still open and the patches was in the next for more than > one month there no reason to do not pull them for this relese Yes there is a reason: you were invited to submit that pull request much sooner i.e. _before_ the merge window opened. Why didn't you do it a month ago? Nicolas

Why didn't you do it a > month ago? work on other cleanup for this merge but can not finish them in time so this work can go other work are pending as they depend on it let this pull go and theere was no announch that we can not send pull during the merge windows so if there is such rule we must write a patch and put it in the ARM tree to specified the ARM merge window otherwise the merge normal merge window prime Best Regards, J.

That doesn't parse. Look - it's a requirement that code for the merge window is in linux-next prior to the merge window opening. What that means is that if code has not been in the linux-next tree prior to the merge window opening, it doesn't get merged during the window, and has to wait until the end of the merge window. Moreover, new code must not be added to linux-next _during_ the merge window by anyone (apart from bug fixes) as that can disrupt sorting out how trees are merged into Linus' tree. So, the rule has been for years: code not in linux-next does not get merged during the merge window. There's nothing new there.

So there is only one word to tell to those people: thanks guys! Yes, and maybe one more thing to tell them: next time we will do better... Bye,

Agreed this patch series was in the next before for sometimes so I did not see the issue to merge it Best Regards, J.
