[RFC PATCH v2 00/11] Simple QoS for exynos-bus driver using interconnect

[Chanwoo Choi]

Hi Artur,

On v1, I mentioned that we need to discuss how to change
the v2 for this. But, I have not received any reply from you on v1.
And, without your reply from v1, you just send v2.

I think that it is not proper development sequence.
I have spent many times to review your patches
and also I'll review your patches. You have to take care
the reply of reviewer and and keep the basic rule
of mailing contribution for discussion.
