Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Documentation/process: maintainer-soc: Be more explicit about defconfig
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2025 15:27:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251223142726.73417-3-krzysztof.kozlowski@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)

It is already documented but people still send noticeable amount of
patches ignoring the rule - get_maintainers.pl does not work on
arm64/configs/defconfig or any other shared ARM defconfig.

Be more explicit, that one must not rely on typical/simple approach
here for getting To/Cc list.

Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzysztof.kozlowski@oss.qualcomm.com>

Incorrectly addressed patches for arm64/defconfig are around ~2 per month...
