That's been the rule for years, you should know that... Oh I know and I also know that the rule was always somewhat flexible for "new" drivers ;-) But heh, it's not biggie. > > Anyway no biggie, it will just slow down some getting some of the other > > drivers I suppose, though we can always explicitly list the dependency > > on this tag to work around it. > > There should not be a rush here, remember, kernel development does not > have deadlines :) Sort-of, it does make things difficult to have so much crap piling up out of tree or in vendor trees as you well know, so the faster that pile is sorted, the better everybody is. But I can deal with the dependencies for 4.19 (assuming we get the 2 or 3 other drivers I want to see upstream lined up as well in the next few weeks). Cheers, Ben.
