I didn't hear anything back about application of this series. Is there a blocker somewhere? Apart from the three preparatory patches that are a precondition to the conversion of the respective drivers, the patches are all pairwise orthogonal. So from my POV the best would be to apply all patches that still apply (which might be all), I will care for the fallout later then. Best regards Uwe

Is there a > blocker somewhere? I think the series got applied to the master branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git. It should thus appear in v6.4. The corresponding series for staging media drivers has also been applied to the same branch as far as I can tell. > Apart from the three preparatory patches that are a precondition to the > conversion of the respective drivers, the patches are all pairwise > orthogonal.

I guess that linux-stable.git is a copy&paste failure (and it's not there). I don't see the series in the master branch of git://linuxtv.org/media_tree.git either. .. a bit later ... ah, it's in git://linuxtv.org/mchehab/media-next.git I guess I was just to quick and probably the series will be included in today's next. Thanks Uwe

I believe patchwork <patchwork@linuxtv.org> will send notification to author and along with people who applied tags for that patch. I normally get notification from patchwork <patchwork@linuxtv.org> When the state of patch changes. Cheers, Biju

Indeed, I got such a notification on Apr 11. But even if I had that on my radar when asking and considered such notifications reliable in general, I would have asked, as the patches didn't apprear in next up to now. Thanks Uwe
