Change subject: soc/amd/picasso: Drop forked copy of SMBus source ......................................................................
Patch Set 4:
Leadership was added to Cc reviewers Jan 13th 2019 but I expected to see a quick resolution here or progress on your amd/picasso patchset.
Since You chose to continue discussion here against my advice, so be it.
As for what I called a "promise" of a reference board, I noticed just now that You, Marshall, have not been a recipient in any of that e-mail exchange. You can make Your own judgement from the subject lines of that e-mail exchange, with selected personnel at Google, SilverBack and AMD between Aug and Nov 2019: - July 31st "Help removing CAR references from Picasso" - Sep 9th "Getting you a picasso board" - Sep 25th "Mandolin board for Kyösti Mälkki"
Or the following quotes: . J and W are working to get you a mandolin board. Can you send your shipping information? Obviously you'll also need to sign an NDA as well. - I wasn't sure if he needed access. If he does, I will need an NDA. I will send one via DocuSign. - It's up to you, but I'd be glad to help pay any import fees - I know that M and J at AMD have been working on it (board), so I don't have any further news right now.
