Hi, Where is this branch from? Git URL and branch name, please -- we prefer to pull these in as separate branches under depends/* as well to document it. -Olof

Here is the repo and branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ohad/remoteproc.git for-next Thanks, Sekhar

Looking at that branch, and the new branch from you, I don't actually see a dependency between them. Sure, the Davinci mach-side code registers a new device, but until the driver has the corresponding changes, there's no breakage caused by the new registration. There are no new data structures introduced either, so there's no build-time dependency added. So it would be just as easy to just merge this as a nondependent branch. When both sides of the change land, remoteproc will work. But until then, nothing existing will be broken. Sound ok? If so, please just rebase your 4 patches on top of the old SoC branch without the dependency and send a fresh pull request, please. :) -Olof

I can swear there was some platform data that the driver needed at some stage which caused the dependency. Whatever that was, its gone now (and I failed to notice it) so there is no real need of merging the remoteproc branch. > So it would be just as easy to just merge this as a nondependent branch.

I will have to update the board support pull request too. Thanks, Sekhar
