Hello Greg,
I know I said I would be more careful about cross-tree dependencies, but
here I am again...
The context is: How should I proceed with interface number based probing
for usbnet drivers, in particular qmi_wwan which already has a few
patches in net-next?
I see two possible remaining options:
1) you pull the net-next changes into usb-next so that I can do the
work against usb-next now, or
2) I wait for 3.6-rc1 and do the work against the net tree after
3.6-rc1 is merged there
I have decided to go for option #2 unless either of you have other
preferences, as I believe that is going to cause the least work and
merge trouble for you both.
The changes are mostly device IDs, but I am also going to rip out all
the whitelist probing logic becoming redundant. This is a single driver
and pretty obvious low risk though, so I believe it is appropriate for
an -rc2.
But please let me know if I'm on the wrong track here.
Bjørn
