Is fw_devlink defaulted to on for v5.12?

Have all issues been identified and understood?
Have all issues been fixed, reviewed, and committed?
Have all fixes entered linux-next?
Have all fixes been migrated from submaintainers to maintainers?
We're already at v5.11-rc7.
Yes, we can get fixes into v5.12-rc7. Or v5.12-rc9...

I'm hoping Tudor has reported and the fixes that have gone in so far
addressed all his issues. Otherwise, they need to be reported so we
can fix them.
As of now, there's no pending fix that hasn't landed in maintainer
trees. So that's good.

Yeah, I'm leaning toward not making it the default for 5.12-rc1 because
not everything seems to be working, let's see how the rest of the week
goes...

You're talking about driver core fixes.
What about driver fixes? E.g. pull request for (arm-)soc should be
srnt before -rc6.

This can never be true for these types of per platform issues. There are
folks that test linux-next Then there are ones that test rc1. And
(unfortunately) so-on ending at testing only LTS releases.

I think there's some value waiting until after rc1 to turn off if just
to find a few more issues.
