mchehab: followup on https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/39306/ and https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/39328/:
since 4.10 has another week for patches, is there any chance these can get in before 4.10 is released? The first patch is a regression fix, the second prevents valid CEC poll messages from being sent, something I'd like to have fixed before CEC is released in 4.10.
Given a choice the CEC fix is the more important one.
hverkuil: yeah, I'll try to handle it today
I should be unavailable most of this week
Fantastic!
OK. Next week I'm at ELC and will have limited availability as well.
mchehab: can you take a quick look at this pull request: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/39345/
specifically if this will be postponed to 4.12 or can be merged for 4.11. This needs to be coordinated with Matthias.
hverkuil: I guess we'll need to postpone to 4.12
I handled already all patchsets for 4.11
OK. Can you reply with that so Matthias knows?
ok
hverkuil: applied those two patches:  https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/39306/ and https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/39328/
mchehab: thank you! Especially the cec patch is good to see in 4.10. The CEC framework incorrectly blocked valid poll messages, and since CEC was moved out of staging in 4.10 that was rather embarrassing.
That will also allow me to fix the cec-ctl utility that was sending malformed poll messages.
My own fault for misreading the CEC specification.
good to have it fixed in time
btw, I merged on my tree, but need to wait for -next to pick before sending upstream
Of course.
let's hope I'll be able to send it in time
I still don't know how I managed to make that CEC mistake :-( The spec is pretty clear about what the initiator should be for poll messages.
well, bad things happen
