Change subject: soc/amd/picasso: Drop forked copy of SMBus source ......................................................................
Patch Set 4:
You're right, this is getting off topic.
AFAIR Marshall already commented that he should have moved amd/stoneyridge SMBus code instead of forking another copy.
No, I said I started by listing all potential candidates for moving into common. Some were obvious moves, some were obvious keeps, however this is an example of one I wanted to wait until I had better information. I never made any type of admission of "should have". Items in the first category were moved.
I feel pretty disgusted of Martin and Marshall giving empty promises on behalf of AMD of supplying me with the CRB in question here since Sep 2019 and them having requestsed me personally on helping to clean topics around CAR since early Aug 2019.
Neither Martin nor I promised that. We urged AMD (I was not an employee) to try to make it happen. I agree its been a long time, and now I am more aware of the legal approvals it required as well as the competing demands on the attorneys' time. (You've expressed you feel I represent all of AMD however that's simply inaccurate; this was handled by an organization different than mine.) The status I heard this week is everything is complete internally and they are looking for a board for you. So when it shows up on your doorstep soon, the timing was due more to coincidence than your complaints here.
Look, I'm really tired of arguing about this and I see no point going back and forth here, except that it's hard to allow skewed history go uncorrected. If you feel a decision should be made by coreboot leadership, let's just get it in front of them and I'll state my case again.
