Guys, please be a bit more definite. We should get over this long ping-pong game. It has been clearly stated that either way is fine, and there was no objection for months to either way either, and now the feature is just not moving forward. This is the first time I have this sorrow experience that I am having here in hwmon, unfortunately. A lot of effort spent, and nothing got done. As I said before, disagreeing is fine and natural. What is not fine is wasting people's time for months and not making it clear what the hwmon maintainers want, and months later after the work, the opposite is claimed than before. I am sorry if it sounds harsh, but currently this is how I see the situation. If the MFD solution gets rejected, I consider it a huge maintainer mistake since both of you were involved, and have never ever spoken up for months that this would not be acceptable. In fact, as quoted earlier in this thread, the opposite had been said. I would like to get over the hwmon situation as soon as possible, so please guys kindly advise what you would *really* like to see. I do not really mind who makes the decision, but rejecting months of work due to miscommunication is still better than continuing the same! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
