Hi Mauro,

Then how do you propose we solve the problem?
For example, how about a declaration: that if somebody is working on a driver (in this case) and has actually presented a (possibly not yet mergeable) patch, then versions of this code from other people will not be accepted at the same time instead. Please note that I don't mean abandoned code, I mean a code which simply needs some work and thus a bit of time.
Those other people can always apply their changes once the original code is accepted, right? And the changes may get a chance to be examined :-)
Or is it too much?

Well, TBH drivers/media is a fast moving target... But it's something. I will obviously update this when I'm back from vacation.
Thanks. -- Krzysztof Hałasa
