  ARM: shmobile: sh73a0: Update CMT clockevent rating to 80 (2013-05-28 14:46:38 +0900)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Renesas ARM based SoC fixes for v3.10

* Correction to USB OVC and PENC pin groupings on r8a7779 SoC.
  This avoids conflicts when the USB_OVCn pins are used by another function.
  This has been observed to be a problem in v3.10-rc1.

* Update CMT clock rating for sh73a0 SoC to resolve boot failure
  on kzm9g-reference. This resolves a regression between v3.9 and v3.10-rc1.

    I suspect this is needed in -stable. The bug is older than 3.10-rc1.

OK, Acked-by, do you want me to take this as a fix in the pinctrl
tree for v3.10?

Just asking because Simon usually takes everything else relating to
the SH. ...

This was a pull request from my tree to arm-soc, so thats they way
I was planning to handle things.

Olof, Arnd,

should I re-spin the pull request to include Linus's ack?

You can if you want, but for an odd and specific fix like this we'll
all know he's ok with the code going in.

In that case my preference is to leave the pull request as is.
Could you consider merging it?

As an aside, I do expect to send some more v3.10 fixes for shmobile.
There seem to be more than usual.

Yes, I will do a pass tomorrow and handle the outstanding merges.

A little unfortunate but it's hard to do much about.

Please be conservative with what you pick up for 3.10 vs 3.11 -- Linus
has said he really wants to see things slow down.

And please make our case as easy as possible by making sure it's
pretty clear from the patch descriptions what kind of bugs they fix
(and if they are regressions).

What we might need to think about is the evolutional pace of the ARM
kernel - compared to a few years back we have increased the change
rate by orders of a magnitude (at least that is my feeling...)

There may be some point where we actually need to tell people to
hold changes back because they are just pushing too large volumes
through one merge window, resulting in a corresponding amount of
fixes.

This merge window both Samsung Exynos and SH mobile seem to
have been a little bit trigger-happy :-/

Understood. I will be careful to only send the bare essentials for v3.10.

To quantify things, for shmobile I am currently aware of 4 problems that
seem to be worthy of fixing for v3.10. A patche for one has been
accepted into arm-soc, Patches for two are this pull request. And one more
has a patch in the pipeline.

These known problems seem to fall into two categories:

1. Problems that have been in linux-next for a while but only recently
   appeared in the renesas tree. These were observed when boot testing kernels
   during the course of rebasing the renesas tree on v3.10-rcX.

   I believe that these problems could and should have been
   spotted earlier by boot testing linux-next more often,
   allowing them to be resolved in the merge-window rather than
   at -rc time.

   I intend to make this happen.

2. Problems that have been present in the renesas tree and
   thus linux-next for a while but were not observed as
   early as they might have been.

   Statistically the rate of these problems could have
   been reduced by accepting changes more slowly.
   But at this point we are talking about one or two bugs out
   of many many changes. Bugs that only affect a small
   subset of shmobile hardware support.

Oh, very much so. And there's a lot of additions of new code.

Linus clarified just this week at LC Japan what ticks him off about -rc
patches too; it's an indication that people aren't sending code that's
baked and tested enough during the merge window, causing all these fixes
on top.

Given the rate of change of arm platforms, some of this is definitely
expected (i.e. proportional to amount of merge window changes). Still,
we have empirical evidence that far from all maintainers keep a close
eye on linux-next status for their platforms. :-)

I have a small board farm that I make sure boot more or less daily
with linux-next now, but my space is limited. It also shouldn't be my
responsibility to make sure that various platforms keep working; it's
up to each submaintainer to do so.

That doesn't mean there won't be corner cases still, hardware that
maintainers don't have themselves affected, etc. But by keeping an eye
on linux-next, a handful of -rc fixes can be avoided.

That's essentially what we did with the initial multiplatform changes for 3.10
for Exynos, where they seemed to need more bake time and got held off.

Both of them saw a lot of changes. Exynos saw the onslaught of Linaro
engineers starting to work more on Arndale, and shmobile saw a huge
amount of changes due to their cutting over subsystems. The latter
is hard to avoid since it can be complicated to keep both old and new
infrastructure around, and the former we should just make sure to catch
with linux-next testing.

But you do bring up valid points, and it's something to keep in mind going
forward.

Hi, no tag or branch? Looks like you forgot to push.

I don't see any branch or tag at c7f413548dce3d25609c12efe963b3e6c8e678f3 in
that tree, so it's not a case of pushing branch but forgetting tag.

Sorry about that. I have re-pushed and sent a fresh pull request.

For reference it is revision f5dbcc6e917f12e306acfc9575d437b5d5e24134
