The DSPI interrupt can be shared between two controllers at least on the
LX2160A. In that case, the driver for one controller might misbehave and
consume the other's interrupt. Fix this by actually checking if any of
the bits in the status register have been asserted.

It would be better to have done this as the first patch before
the restructuring, that way we could send this as a fix - the
refactoring while good doesn't really fit with stable.

Did you see this?

I'm not online enough to readily follow that link right now, I
did apply another patch for a similar issue though.  If that's
a different version of the same change please don't do that,
sending multiple conflicting versions of the same thing creates
conflicts and makes everything harder to work with.

Please include human readable descriptions of things like commits and
issues being discussed in e-mail in your mails, this makes them much
easier for humans to read especially when they have no internet access.
I do frequently catch up on my mail on flights or while otherwise
travelling so this is even more pressing for me than just being about
making things a bit easier to read.

Oh, I guess this was due to there being an existing refactoring
in -next that meant the fix wouldn't apply directly.  I sorted
that out now I think, but in general the same thing applies -
it's better to put fixes before anything else in the series,
it'll flag up when reviewing.

I try to require as little attention span as possible from you and I
apologize that I'm sending patches like a noob, but I'm not used to
this sort of interaction with a maintainer. It's taking me some time
to adjust expectations.
- You left change requests in the initial patchset I submitted, but
you partially applied the series anyway. You didn't give me a chance
to respin the whole series and put the shared IRQ fix on top, so it
applies on old trees as well. No problem, I sent two versions of the
patch.
- On my previous series you left this comment:

So I didn't put any target version in the patch titles this time,
although arguably it would have been clearer to you that there's a
patch for-5.4 and another version of it for-4.20 (which i *think* is
how I should submit a fix, I don't see any branch for inclusion in
stable trees per se).
No problem, I explained in the cover letters that one patchset is for
-next and the other is for inclusion in stable trees. Maintainers do
read cover letters, right?
Message from the -next cover letter:

Message from the fix's cover letter:

> and respun against the "for-4.20" branch.
> $(git describe --tags 13aed2392741) shows:

Yes, I did send a cover letter for a single patch. I thought it's
harder to miss than a note hidden under patch 2/5 of one series, and
in the note section of the other's. I think you could have also made
an argument about me not doing it the other way around. In the end,
you can not read a note just as well as not read a cover letter, and
there's little I can do.

No problem, you missed the link between the two. I sent you a link to
the lkml archive. You said "I'm not online enough to readily follow
that link right now". Please teach me - I really don't know - how can
I make links between patchsets easier for you to follow, if you don't
read cover letters and you can't access lkml? I promise I'll use that
method next time.

Maybe you simply should do something else while traveling, just saying.

Right, and this is fine.  A big part of this is that it's just
generally bad practice to not have fixes at the front of the
series, I'd flag this up as a problem even if the code was all
new and there was no question of applying as a bug fix.  It's
something that's noticable just at the level of looking at the
shape of the series without even looking at the contents of the
patches, if the fix is actually a good one or anything like that.
In the context of this it made it look like the reason you'd had
to do two versions.

Not for 4.20, for v5.3 - we basically only fix Linus' tree
directly, anything else gets backported from there unless it's
super important.  I don't think anyone is updating v4.20 at all
these days, the version number change from v4 to v5 was totally
arbatrary.

If you're sending a multi-patch series it's of course good to
send a cover letter, it's just single patches where it's adding
overhead.

It's not that I missed the link between them, it's that what I'd
expected to see was the fix being the first patch in the series
for -next and for that fix to look substantially the same with at
most some context difference.  I wasn't expecting to see a
completely different patch that wasn't at the start of the
series, had the fix been at the start of the series it'd have
been fairly clear what was going on but the refactoring patch
looked like the main reason you'd needed different versions (it's
certainly why they don't visually resemble each other).

In other words it looked like you'd sent a different fix because
the fix you'd done for -next was based on the first patch in the
series rather than there also being some context changes.

Like I said include a plain text description of what you're
linking to (eg, the subject line from a mail).

I could also add in the coffee shop I sometimes work from which
doesn't have WiFi or mobile coverage.  Besides, like that part of
the text does say it's also a usability thing, having to fire up
a web browser to figure out what's being described is a stumbling
block.
