No worries, thank you for all the work you are putting into this.

I have not taken a close look at the code yet, but I see that Andy has and
the amount of remarks which he has on patch 7/8 which is the big one seems
to be limited, so I believe that we are getting close to this being ready
for merging.

This touches a lot of subsystems, so we need to come up with a plan to
merge this. Here is my proposal for how to do this:

1/8 ACPI: scan: Extend acpi_walk_dep_device_list()
2/8 ACPI: scan: Add function to fetch dependent of acpi device
3/8 i2c: core: Add a format macro for I2C device names
4/8 gpiolib: acpi: Export acpi_get_gpiod()
5/8 clkdev: Make clkdev_drop() null aware
6/8 gpiolib: acpi: Add acpi_gpio_get_io_resource()
7/8 platform/x86: Add intel_skl_int3472 driver
8/8 mfd: tps68470: Remove tps68470 MFD driver

Rafael already indicated that he wants to merge 1/8 (and presumably also 2/8)
through his tree and that he will provide an immutable branch with those
for merging into the pdx86 tree.

4/8 and 6/8 are both gpiolib-acpi patches and seem to be ready for merging
now, perhaps the gpiolib-acpi maintainers can already merge these and also
provide an immutable branch ? Andy/Mika ?

3/8 and 5/8 seem to be nice cleanups, but not really necessary. IMHO it
would be best to park these cleanups for later and for 3/8 add the following
where necessary for now:

/* FIXME drop this once the I2C_DEV_NAME_FORMAT macro has been added to include/linux/i2c.h */
#ifndef I2C_DEV_NAME_FORMAT
#define I2C_DEV_NAME_FORMAT "i2c-%s"
#endif

This is not the prettiest but it reduces all the subsys cross-deps and things
like this have been done before for similar reasons.

Likewise it would be good if you can add if (foo) as condition before any
clkdev_drop(foo) calls in this patch-set and then merge
5/8 "clkdev: Make clkdev_drop() null aware" independently of this and then
once both are in Linux tree follow-up with a cleanup patch dropping the if (foo)
guards.

So this would leave as deps for 7/8 just the 2 ACPI and 2 gpiolib-acpi patches
which I can hopefully pull-in via immutable branches and then we are good.

AFAICT patch 8/8 can be merged independently once 7/8 hits for-next (IOW once
we are sure the next kernel will have 7/8).



Or alternatively one of the involved subsys maintainers just merges the entire
set (once it is ready) and then provides an immutable branch with the entire set
on top of 5.13-rc1 (or 5.14-rc1). But that requires acks from all the other
subsys maintainers. Note I'm fine with either approach.

Regards,

Hans
