You get the idea with what's here. It's just more of the same. Plus I pushed the lot to [1]. I think we'll need to do this. The question is how to handle this churn. Do we want this many patches? If not, how much to squash? BR, Jani. [1] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/jani/linux/-/commits/regs-mass-dev-priv-removal/?ref_type=heads

I was wondering why I was only seeing a few patches when the series was telling over a hundred. > > I think we'll need to do this. Agreed. Let's do this. > The question is how to handle this > churn. Do we want this many patches? If not, how much to squash? From a glance on these initial patches, it sounds really organized in individual patches and easy to review. Perhaps if we take this path we might just split the series in blocks and merge these initial 17, and we continue over the next weeks. However, if this is automated like you mentioned in the cover letter, perhaps we can do one patch per directory?

Ack. > However, if this is automated like you mentioned in the cover letter, > perhaps we can do one patch per directory? (display vs gvt vs gem? vs drm/i915/{.c,.h}) I'll look into it. The first natural batch came about when I moved some color regs, so I sent them [1]. BR, Jani. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1714399071.git.jani.nikula@intel.com
