Sending something > like this as v1 after long discussions also does not help. Krzysztof is right that it's better to wait until we get consensus on the previous discussion before sending a new patch. I know you were just trying to help move things forward, but because of the way the email workflow works, sending a new version tends to fork the discussion into two threads and adds confusion. I know Krzysztof and Rob have been silent during our recent discussion, but it's also a long discussion. I've been assuming that they will take some time to digest and reply in a little bit. If they didn't, IMO it would have been reasonable to explicitly ask them for feedback in the other thread after giving a bit of time. As Krzysztof mentioned, if/when you send the "goodix,gt7986u-spi" bindings again you'd want to: * Make sure it's marked as v2. * Make sure any previous review feedback has been addressed. For instance, I think Krzysztof requested that you _remove_ the goodix,hid-report-addr from the bindings and hardcode this into the driver because every GT7986U will have the same hid-report-addr. I know that kinda got lost in the discussion but it still needs to be addressed or at least responded to. I guess there was at least one other comment about "additionalProperties" that you should look for and address. * Make sure there's some type of version history after-the-cut. Tools like "patman" and "b4" can help with this. * The commit message should proactively address concerns that came up during the review process. In this case if we go with "goodix,gt7986u-spi" the commit message would want to say something explaining _why_ the "-spi" suffix is appropriate here even though normally it wouldn't be. That will help anyone digging through history. -Doug

If the firmware creates fundamentally different interfaces, then different compatibles makes sense. If the same driver handles both bus interfaces, then 1 compatible should be fine. The addition of '-spi' to the compatible doesn't give any indication of a different programming model. I wouldn't care except for folks who will see it and just copy it when their only difference is the bus interface and we get to have the same discussion all over again. So if appending '-spi' is the only thing you can come up with, make it abundantly clear so that others don't blindly copy it. The commit msg is useful for convincing us, but not for that purpose. Rob

I suppose you could make it super obvious that it's running different firmware with "goodix,gt7986u-spifw" and maybe that would be a little better. I think what Rob is asking for to make it super obvious is that in the "description" of the binding you mention that in this case we're running a substantially different firmware than GT7986U touchscreens represented by the "goodix,gt7986u" binding and thus is considered a distinct device. At this point, IMO you could wait until Monday in case Krzysztof wants to add his $0.02 worth and then you could send a "v2" patch addressing the comments so far, though of course you could continue to reply to this thread if you have further questions / comments. -Doug

Is there any chance for Microsoft-compatible HID-over-SPI versions of the firmware for this chip? Will this require new compatible string? Or it will be a different chip ID and the issue will be moot? Thanks.

And to re-iterate: both commit msg and hardware description in the binding must clearly explain this why another compatible was chosen for the same device. Best regards, Krzysztof

Thank you very much for your patience and clear explanation. I will recheck the previous review feedback and provide a new patch marked as v2. Best regards, Charles

I want to clarify that the gt7986u-spi and gt7986u indeed use two entirely different drivers and two distinct firmware. Using "goodix,gt7986u-spi" could indeed cause confusion. How about modifying it to "goodix,gt7986u-losto" by adding a special code? Additionally, I would like to confirm: when submitting the v2 patch, should it be based on this thread or the previous discussion thread? Best regards, Charles

If "lotso" is just a made up word because you don't want to use "spi" or "spifw" then it's not great. In either case you'll want to summarize our discussion here in your "description" in the yaml and in the commit message. > Additionally, I would like to confirm: when submitting the v2 patch, should > it be based on this thread or the previous discussion thread? No, v2 should _not_ be In-Reply-To this thread. It'll start a new thread. You can add a link (via lore.kernel.org/r/<message-id>) to the old discussion in your cover letter and/or version history. Said another way: * New versions of patches create new threads. * The fact that new versions of patches create new threads is why people usually want open questions answered before the next version is sent. :-)

I don't feel very strongly about it, but maybe Krzysztof does? Possibly the path of least resistance would be: 1. You drop the property from the bindings. 2. You hardcode it in the driver to be the normal value. 3. If/when someone actually needs a different value then we can add it as an optional property in the bindings and fall back to the default value if the property isn't present. What do you think? If you feel strongly about keeping the "hid-report-addr" then you can certainly keep making your case. However, it's probably best to wait to get agreement from Krzysztof (or one of the other DT maintainers) before sending your next version unless you're going to take the "path of least resistance" that I talk about above. -Doug
