Hi
[ Upstream commit 3e8bcec0787d1a73703c915c31cb00a2fd18ccbf ]
(snip)
This is a code refactoring. It is obviously not suitable for stable, it's not even a warning fix or anything - just a refactoring. You've marked it as a dependency of another patch which is doing the refactoring in a specific driver which obviously shouldn't be being backported either.
To repeat what I said the other day in response to the other wildly inappropriate backports (one was an entirely new driver...) I thought that there was supposed to be some manual review of the patches being included in stable prior to them being sent out. How on earth are things like this getting as far as being even proposed for stable?
I have noticed about this, but my guess was that because this each patch modifies driver file with wide range. Thus, other main/important patch can't be backported without this patch (to fsl/pxa) ? (I'm not 100% understanding stable rules...)
Fortunatry, this patch-set adds (1) add new style, (2) switch to new style (3) remove old style. We can keep compatibility if (3) was not added.
