I think you may be slightly confused about the use of the treewide
prefix. Perhaps Geert or one of the upstream-savvy contractors could
help you navigate targeting the correct trees?

I thought we have 2 types about the use of the treewide: 1) Completely depends on multiple subsystems and/or change multiple subsystems in a patch. 2) Convenient for review. This patch series type is the 2) above. However, should I use treewide for the 1) only? Best regards, Yoshihiro Shimoda

However, should I use > treewide for the 1) only? I thought "treewide" means you're changing something across the tree. If you want to get a new platform reviewed I'd just post the patches as RFC without any prefix in the subject. But I could be wrong. My main point (which I did a pretty poor job of actually making) was that for the networking driver to be merged it needs to get posted separately.

You have a clock patch, which should go via the clock subsystem Maintainer. You have a PHY path, which should go via the generic PHY subsystem Maintainer. You have an Ethernet driver and binding patch, which can go via netdev, Cc: the device tree list. And a patch to add the needed nodes to .dts files which can go via the renesas Maintainer. At an early RFC stage, posting them all at once can be useful, to help see all the bits and pieces. But by the time you have code ready for merging, it should really go via easu subsystem Maintainer. All these patches should then meet up in next, and work. If any are missing, the driver should return -ENODEV or similar. If there are any compile time dependencies in these patches, then we need to handle them differently. But at a very quick glance, i don't see any. Andrew

But I could be wrong. Using RFC is reasonable, I think. I'll use this at next time.

I'll separate patches for the networking driver on v3 patch. Best regards, Yoshihiro Shimoda

I completely understood it. > All these patches should then meet up in next, and work. If any are > missing, the driver should return -ENODEV or similar. Yes, I did test such things. > If there are any compile time dependencies in these patches, then we > need to handle them differently. But at a very quick glance, i don't > see any. You're correct. This patch series doesn't depend in compile time. Best regards, Yoshihiro Shimoda > Andrew

However, should I use > treewide for the 1) only? No, How is it convenient for review.. I would like to see a series just for phy... I dont need to see the whole other things... Maybe Convenient for you to toss the pile to upstream reviewers, surely not for us!

I will not submit this type of treewide from now on. Best regards, Yoshihiro Shimoda
