What does "didn't get accepted" mean? :) Since this looks like a
PCI-ID only change that do not affect other existing hardware, if it's
not an explicit objection from a reviewer, I think it's Okay to just
go ahead and commit the change after a reasonable timeout instead of
waiting indefinitely.
I very much doubt that this patch works. More, I believe that it was
not tested at all. Talking about the trivially obvious things, the PGTT
handling must be updated since page tables have different format
comparing
with Ivy, there are some changes to ring dispatching, and lot of
changes in the display pipeline. All this is missing from the patch.
Oh, and the Series 8 chipset PCH detection is missing. I probably
should stop now.
HSW support is much more than just adding the Ids, I am (slowly)
starting
the work on importing the Linux updates.
Konstantin,
Thanks for telling me. The reality is, I don't really know about the
insides of the FreeBSD kernel, Linux, or drm. I just looked at a few
files. I should really get a book about FreeBSD before trying to send
patches again. And anyways, this patch is untested. I was in a rush to
send it to the mailing list, hoping it would get accepted.
Thanks,
Neel
