[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] Add single register pin controller driver

[James]

Hi Felix,

Not 'hijacking' a patch, just following Linux Developer's Certificate of
Origin 1.1 guidelines.

As you know, I contacted you directly with this patch suggestion prior to
posting to the mailing list (keeping strictly to rule c). I had hoped you
would make a new version:

Perhaps I misinterpreted your response, which stated:

This was confusing, as I could see no way to convert this work to a patch
of your unapproved v2 patch (being new to this process).

My understanding from the 'submitting patches' guide is that the square
bracket nomenclature I used indicates minor changes to an existing patch,
thereby providing you with credit whilst also denoting that you do not
endorse the changes.

bug in my v2 patch? Should I then increase from v2 to v4?

Perhaps someone can clarify, but it seems logical that the version number
is in order of contribution to the project, rather than being tied to any
specific user. Especially given the software license it is under.


Kind regards,
