SubjectRE: [PATCH v2 0/9] i2c-mlxbf.c: bug fixes and new feature support
Date
> This is a series of patches fixing several bugs and implementing new 
> features.

What did change since v1 and where did Khalil's Rev-by tags go?

Khalil told me to remove the rev-by : ) since it is supposed to be reserved for the reviewers. I will add it back and describe what has changed in my next set of patches. As a note , this is what changed from v1->v2:
1) moved all the bug fixes to the top commits and left the features for last
2) split the BlueField-3 SoC patch into 2 to address Rob's comment: one for the driver code and another patch for the device tree binding yaml documentation file
3) addressed Rob's comment regarding keeping the device tree/acpi tables backward compatible. So add the new resources at the end of the enum.
4) update the license in a separate patch

Is this really a bugfix?

This is not a bug fix. We removed it because it is no longer needed.

> 5) Support lock mechanism

Here, I am also not sure if this is a bugfix.

I think this is a bug fix because we have an i2c driver also in UEFI so we need this lock mechanism to avoid race conditions over acquiring the i2c bus. Not using this lock resulted in unexpected behavior.

Thanks for the update,

Wolfram
