Let's assume patch 2 is applied and patch 4 is not, what will be the result of get_maintainer.pl for the YAML file? -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko

Also, I think linewrap might done some fuckery cos it was the
"in file" I was pointing to, pretty sure that's not coming from git.
I tried ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit --nogit-fallback -f Documentation/devicetree/bindings/auxdisplay/titanmec,tm16xx.yaml
(I think --nogit-fallback is the salient option, --nogit is a default
actually) and I got:
Andy Shevchenko <andy@kernel.org> (maintainer:AUXILIARY DISPLAY DRIVERS)
Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> (reviewer:AUXILIARY DISPLAY DRIVERS)
Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> (maintainer:OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE BINDINGS)
Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk+dt@kernel.org> (maintainer:OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE BINDINGS)
Conor Dooley <conor+dt@kernel.org> (maintainer:OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE BINDINGS)
"Jean-François Lessard" <jefflessard3@gmail.com> (in file)
^^^^^^^
and the in file still appears.

The usual warning about MAINTAINERS appears ye, the one that appears
whenever a file is moved, created or deleted. I personally don't care
about that, as long as the end result of a series deals with it since
the file will produce the correct maintainer list in a bisection etc
anyway. Of course, your subsystem your prerogative.

Cool, thanks for providing this, TIL! Is this documented somewhere? I mean how should I know that YAML files are not orphaned by default (assuming they are correct and have a "maintainer" field inside)? > devicetree@vger.kernel.org (open list:OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE BINDINGS) > linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) > AUXILIARY DISPLAY DRIVERS status: Odd Fixes > > > Actually doesn't checkpatch complain in this case? > > The usual warning about MAINTAINERS appears ye, the one that appears > whenever a file is moved, created or deleted.

Of course, your subsystem your prerogative. Shouldn't checkpatch also be fixed at least for that part as get_maintainer does? -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
