Hi,


A nouveau developer(Lyude) from redhat send me a R-B,

Thanks for the developers of nouveau project.


Please allow me add a link[1] here.

m...@redhat.com/

1) Thanks for this.  If you post another version of this series,
     please pick up Lyude's Reviewed-by and include it in the relevant
     patches (as long as you haven't made significant changes to the
     code Lyude reviewed).

Yes, no significant changes. Just fix typo.

I also would like to add support for other DRM drivers.

But I think this deserve another patch.

   Whoever applies this should automatically
     pick up Reviewed-by/Ack/etc that are replies to the version being
     applied, but they won't go through previous revisions to find them.

2) Please mention the commit to which the series applies.  I tried to
     apply this on v6.4-rc1, but it doesn't apply cleanly.

Since I'm a graphic driver developer, I'm using drm-tip.

I just have already pulled, it still apply cleanly on drm-tip.

3) Thanks for including cover letters in your postings.  Please
     include a little changelog in the cover letter so we know what
     changed between v6 and v7, etc.

No change between v6 and v7,

it seems that it is because the mailbox don't allow me to sending too
many mails a day.

so some of the patch is failed to delivery because out of quota.

4) Right now we're in the middle of the v6.5 merge window, so new
     content, e.g., this series, is too late for v6.5.  Most
     maintainers, including me, wait to merge new content until the
     merge window closes and a new -rc1 is tagged.  This merge window
     should close on July 9, and people will start merging content for
     v6.6, typically based on v6.5-rc1.

I'm wondering

Would you will merge all of the patches in this series (e.g. including
the patch for drm/amdgpu(7/8) and drm/radeon(8/8)) ?

Or just part of them?

Emm, I don't know because my patch seems across different subsystem of
Linux kernel.

There is also a developer for AMDGPU (Mario) give me a R-B for the
patch-0002 of this series.

So, at least, PATCH-0001, PATCH-0002, PATCH-0003, PATCH-0004, PATCH-
0006
are already OK(got reviewed by).

Those 5 patch are already qualified to be merged, I think.

I think what you can do is pick up all the tags in your next version.  Once the
whole series has tags we can discuss how it merges.

Thanks a lot, Mario.


Is it possible to merge the PCI/VGA part as fast as possible, especially the

PATCH-0006 PCI/VGA: Introduce is_boot_device function callback to 
vga_client_register

As this patch is fundamental, it introduce no functional change, as long as the 
drm

driver side don't introduce a callback.

I'm not hurry, but drm driver-side's patch have a dependency on this patch,

I think it is better the PCI/VGA-side's patch got merge first.

At least for get the first four cleanup(0001 ~ 0004) patch merged first,

so that I don't have to send so much on the next version on one series.

Being exposed so far, there no obvious objection.

It saying that other people also want it got merged.

Bjorn, is this OK ?

I means that if you could merge those 5 patch first, then there no need
to send another version again.

I will refine the rest patch with more details and description.

I'm fear of making too much noise.
