I suggest we stop seeing Dmitry's branch as "master" for RMI4 development. Instead work on the v4.3-rc6-based branch you have at https://github.com/aduggan/linux.git, and then (after the merge window) rebase it to v4.4-rc1 and ask Dmitry to *drop* this old branch and pull in your stuff instead, and then look at the end result of that. Who knows, maybe he thinks it's clean enough to go into v4.5. Or for parts of it to go into v4.5. In any case, surely he's more helped by an up-to-date rebased branch than having to rebase it himself too. > This patch set consolidates some outstanding patches and then builds on > that to add support for new devices. Unless Dmitry is extremely interested in the development history, I suggest to squash the whole thing down to a few patches that begins by adding the bus and infrastructure and then one function per patch. > I also have some additional patches which convert hid-rmi > into a transport driver for rmi_core.
