Thanks for upstreaming some missing Cygnus components.

But, the problem is the tarball release from Broadcom you are extracting 
these changes from does not contain git history; so, you are missing the 
original authors and signed-off's.
I checked our internal git repository and for this commit the author is:
Mohamed Ismail Abdul Packir Mohamed <mohamed-ismail.abdul@broadcom.com>

Please adjust author and signed-off appropriately.  If there are other 
changes you are extracting from the source tarballs you have please 
contact me so we can construct patch appropriately.

Regards,
Scott

If you want the original author's Signed-off-by to be preserved, why
don't you extract it from your internal git tree and submit the patch on
Mohamed's behalf?

AFAICT what Clement is doing here is permissible given the Linux
developer certificate of origin though I am not a lawyer of course.

Totally not my goal to steal the author and agree to keep track of the
original author
as soon as it's possible. I didn't though it was important for this
patch as the same
code is available in the dt-bindings documentation.

Actually there are still some buggy components like DSA (Arun proposed
a patch this morning)
the PWM (config and delay aren't correct) and I2C. These are mainlined
but can't be used
and need a minimal effort to correctly work on Cygnus.

Also there are some important components like USB Phy or Mailbox that
were proposed and
almost made it, but just need a small modification to be accepted.

My idea was just to submit small patches that are trivial to review.
In order to avoid keeping
lots of patches in our kernel and also have something functional when
building a mainline kernel.

Regards,
Clement

Sure, I can submit the original patch to keep things simple and avoid 
finding a lawyer right now.

But, It would be great to get some guidance and clarification on this 
for sure.
I'm reading:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.16/process/submitting-patches.html

The change was created entirely by Broadcom, so seems difficult for 
somebody else to upstream change without appropriate authorship and 
signed off from copyright holder.  Point a) and b) are not met in 
Developer's Certificate of Origin while point c) is being attempted 
(without a or b being certified).

We have internal versions of most everything.  It's a matter of getting 
people to push the appropriate patches out for upstream version to work.
Please contact the bcm-kernel-feedback list with issues and we can work 
through common solution (or, likely already have a solution just not 
upstreamed).

Again - we may have internal solution already.  Yes, mailbox was 
submitted upstream a long time ago and I think got stalled being 
accepted upstream.  We can work through upstream solution by starting 
with sending to bcm-kernel-feedback-list to discuss details.

I understand the difficulty you would have if you're trying to work with 
a different kernel version in our release.  If you send me a list 
directly of the drivers you use in Cygnus that will help me get those 
changes prioritized to be pushed upstream.  And/or we can work together 
on that.

Indeed, but it is effectively Broadcom's fault for not providing a git
tree for the customer to pull from in order to preserve the original
authorship, if what was distributed is a tarball of changes against a
vanilla kernel (which is likely to be the case), then all author
attributions are lost.

Not suggesting you change how you deliver code to customers, we have the
same issue in the STB/CM group, except maybe customers care less about
upstreaming so we can do it ourselves at our own pace and using our own
attributions.

I would think that point a) and b) are met by the very fact that the
Cygnus kernel port is GPLv2 code, being a derivative work of the Linux
kernel, and that should be enough.

This is kind of well established things, this has happened for many
Broadcom product lines unfortunately because not everyone is active like
you in getting things upstreamed. Those contributions were still
entirely valid and acceptable for the kernel community.

Maybe we do need a lawyer, Saul Goodman, are you here?
