Subject: [PATCH v5 0/3] mfd: mc13xxx: Fixes and enhancements for NXP's mc34708

This patch set provides several enhancements to mc13xxx MFD family
of devices by introducing mc34708 as a separate device.

This IC has dedicated pen detection feature, which allows better
touchscreen experience.

This is the fifth version of this code (v5).
Discussion regarding previous versions can be found here:

Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] input: touchscreen mc13xxx: Make platform data optional

From: Sascha Hauer <[email protected]>

The platform data once was optional, make it optional again. This
is a first step towards device tree support for the mc13xxx touchscreen
driver.

Subject: [PATCH v5 1/3] mfd: mc13xxx: Add mc34708 adc support

From: Sascha Hauer <[email protected]>

The mc34708 has an improved adc. The older variants will always convert
a fixed order of channels. The mc34708 can do up to eight conversions
in arbitrary channel order. Currently this extended feature is not
supported. We only support touchscreen conversions now, which will
be sampled in a data format compatible to the older chips in order
to keep the API between the mfd and the touchscreen driver.

Changes for v5:
- Remove adc_do_conversion() callbacks from struct mc13xxx_variant
- Remove duplicated MC13XXX_ADC_WORKING #define

Changes for v4:
- None

Changes for v3:
- None

Changes for v2:
- Change the return code patch when the mc13xxx ADC is performing conversion
- Introduce new include/linux/mfd/mc34708.h header file for mc34708 specific
defines

Changes from the original patches:
- ADC conversion functions prototypes added to fix build error
- Adjustments to make checkpatch clean (-ENOSYS, line over 80 char)

This patch applies on top of Linux 5.3-rc8

It's the middle of the merge window, 2 weeks where we can't add any new
code to any of our trees. Please give people a chance...

Please take note and follow the kernel release cycle.

These patches were sent after the release of -rc7 i.e. very late
in the release cycle and a point where most kernel maintainers stop
reviewing/applying patches and start to prepare for the impending
merge-window.

Also, there is no such thing as a gentle ping. If you genuinely think
your patches have unlikely("slipped though the gaps"), then post a
[RESEND] complete with a note alluding your reasons doing such.

Maybe something has changed recently, but I thought that the review is
an ongoing process (that the discussion about patches takes place all
the time to refine the code).

(and nobody expects maintainers pulling new patches after merge window).

I'm a bit puzzled now.
I do know that maintainers are overworked - and I do understand that.

However, NO reply for such a long time is at best confusing for
somebody who is willing to fix the kernel.

(Maybe this has changed too - but I do remember that there was a "rule
of thumb" to express any comment about the patch in 2 weeks time).

Please forgive me, but are patches from this series eligible for pulling
(to v5.4 or even next release)?

Please take this opportunity to split all the ADC stuff out into an
ADC specific driver.

Nothing changed recently. Some maintainers will review just before
and during the merge windows, others use the time to prepare their
branches for submission and welcome the break from reviewing during
this time. Either way, please do not *expect* a fast turn-around
during in this period of the cycle.

If you respect the merge cycle, you will come to expect a short delay
at the end and during the merge-window. Please also understand that
Maintainers also take vacation, attend conferences and have other work
to attend to.

Same rule of thumb applies. If after 2 weeks you have not received a
review, feel free to send a [RESEND]. However, bumping threads with
contentless pings is considered bad form.

As an aside, I (and others) conduct reviews in batches and in
chronological order (first come, first served) of how the mails are
represented in my inbox. Thus, if you bump a thread, it goes to the
back of the queue.

v5.4-rc1 has already been released. No new functionality will hit
v5.4. We have around 6-7 weeks to agree on acceptance for this set
for them to be eligible for v5.5.
