Subject: Please add another drm/msm tree to the linux-next

Hi Stephen,

I would appreciate if you could add

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/lumag/msm.git msm-next-lumag

to the linux-next tree.

This tree is a part of drm/msm maintenance structure. As a co-maintainer
I collect and test display patches, while Rob concenctrates on GPU part
of the driver. Later during the release cycle these patchesare pulled by
Rob Clark directly into msm-next.

During last cycle Rob suggested adding this tree to the linux-next
effort, so that the patches receive better integration testing during
the Linux development cycle.

Thanks!

Added from today.

Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next. As
you may know, this is not a judgement of your code. The purpose of
linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of
conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window.

You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have
been:
* submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's
Signed-off-by,
* posted to the relevant mailing list,
* reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
* successfully unit tested, and
* destined for the current or next Linux merge window.

Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him
to fetch). It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.

Have you guys thought of group maintainering? Single point of failure
trees freak me out a bit, it tends to build silos pretty hard. Simplest
path is to just toss it all into drm-misc, but at least have one tree for
your driver. Building new single maintainer silos after I've run around
for years collecting them all is rather meh.
