From 9f446781616ccc317ba081d0f367f37ee94ed42f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2017 14:15:36 +0100 Subject: drm/TODO: Clarify DRM_DEV_* conversion Not everyone agrees this is the best thing, so make it really clear that maintainers need to be asked first, then the conversion. We've had a few newbies that did this the other way round, got their patches rejected, which isn't the best newbie experience.
