What we'd prefer to see is patches that match upstream or, at the very least, patches that match a repository that is a maintainer branch leading to mainline inclusion[1]. This patchset has patches that just say things like "no" and "never" for Patch-mainline without any explanation as to why. It seems we need to be a bit more vigilant with our policy enforcement.
P.S. I always thought those arm64 patches were 13.2 only...
As opposed to the master branch or something else? I'd expect that anything in an older openSUSE release would still be supported in a newer one unless the hardware is going out of scope.
AFAIU agraf prepared a patchset to backport arm64 PCI/network for 13.2, so that people have a usable stable release for Mustang and Seattle with our 3.16 kernel. Makes sense to me. So yes, I am surprised that non-mainline patches end up on master branch as opposed to just waiting until final patches trickle through maintainers' trees into linux.git and the next -rc or tarball.
