From 47d04676a6479d526e581a8e24c0893cba108932 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 17:35:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add dri-devel as a mailing list for anything fbdev fbdev is in maintenance only, except that it's still used by drm through the drm fbdev emulation, to be able to use fbcon. And people might want to sometimes extend fbcon to enable new features for drm drivers, e.g. Hans' panel orientation work. The problem is that when those patches only touch fbdev code they'll never show up on drm developer's radar, which means we end up with designs that don't really fit whell into the full stack. That happened a bit with the panel orientation work, where an fbcon patch made it into 4.14, implementing a design that won't really work on the drm side. Which means we now have to redo things, and on top coordinate 2 subsystem trees. Since fbdev is super low-volume we can prevent this in the future by simply adding the dri-devel mailing list to the fbdev subsystem.
