They are not totally different.

I guess what Jessica is trying to say here is we will have to do more 
validation with slice/bpp combinations for DP to conclude whether there 
is a difference in math. We can go with two approaches:

1) Either go with slice_chunk_size for now and re-validate with the 
monitors we have and drop this particular helper
2) Keep this particular helper for now and upon more validation if we 
see it's same across more combinations, drop this later.

I just have a slight preference for (2), but looks like your preference 
is for (1) but this is just more validation work for us which is fine I 
guess this time since we will revalidate DP again anyway.

You had the concern for DSC 1.2 DPU series from kuogee. So to respect 
that we held that back the entire end of last week and early this week 
(~6 days) and posted today.

Now, you have the same concern with this series from jessica. Sorry, as 
much as i would like to get your feedback on every series, I cannot hold 
back every QC display developer to wait for your reviews on patch rev 1 
before posting patch rev 2. They all work mostly independently. So if 
one reviewer say dmitry has reviewed one revision and we agreed on the 
comments, in the absence of another comment from another reviewer, the 
developer is going to post the next revision for more reviews as its 
more efficient to manage their time as they are in the same context. 
This is nothing unusual from normal upstream development.

If by the time you start reviewing its going to be revision 7 or 8, then 
start it as a fresh review which it is for you, folks are obviously 
going to question why you didnt review revisions 1-7 so far. So I cannot 
take sides on this.

I wish I could help more to accommodate your schedules but its hard to 
control who pushes when with distributed development and tell each of 
them to hold back.

Thats true even for mine or other's reviews :) that if i am not able to 
get to some patches on time and other reviewers are happy with it they 
do get landed in the tree. Has happened many times and I have not 
complained. I just fix the issues on top of them (which again happens a 
lot) and move on.

So there doesnt seem to be any rule as such today that wait for this 
particular developer to review and validate.
