It is just strange that the (exact same) change made by the commits is duplicated by backporting tools. As it is not the first case where DRM patches are involved per Greg's statement [1], I wonder if something can be done on stable-team's side to avoid such odd behavior in future.
No, all of this mess needs to be fixed up on the drm developer's side, they are the ones doing this type of crazy "let's commit the same patch to multiple branches and then reference a commit that will show up at an unknown time in the future and hope for the best!" workflow.
I'm amazed it works at all, they get to keep fixing up this mess as this is entirely self-inflicted.
Thanks for reply, I get your remark. DRM people are mostly CC'ed here, hopefully it won't be that difficult to tune their established workflow to make the stable process easier and more straightforward.
As of now, would you mind to take the revert for 6.1? It's [PATCH 1/1] in this thread. No point to keep it there, and the duplicated commits were already reverted from the fresher stable kernels.
I don't see it in my review queue anymore, can you please resend it?
thanks,
