Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Documentation: RISC-V: Mention the UEFI Standards
Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2022 21:56:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221013045619.18906-4-palmer@rivosinc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221013045619.18906-1-palmer@rivosinc.com>

From: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>

The current patch acceptance policy requires that specifications are
approved by the RISC-V foundation, but we rely on external
specifications as well.  This explicitly calls out the UEFI
specifications that we're starting to depend on.

 We'll only accept patches for new modules or extensions if the
 specifications for those modules or extensions are listed as being
-"Frozen" or "Ratified" by the RISC-V Foundation.  (Developers may, of

+unlikely to be incompatibly changed in the future.  For
+specifications from the RISC-V foundation this means "Frozen" or
+"Ratified", for the UEFI forum specifications this means a published
+ECR.  (Developers may, of course, maintain their own Linux kernel trees
+that contain code for any draft extensions that they wish.)
 
 Additionally, the RISC-V specification allows implementors to create
 their own custom extensions.  These custom extensions aren't required
