Well, it's a recursive thing - nobody works on mainline, nobody reviews
mainline code and therefore you shouldn't be surprised if there's
issues.

That's not what I'm saying.  What I'm saying is that it's clearly not
the case that OMAP is completely broken here or anything, it appears to
be one particular system which it appears vanishingly few people cared
about in mainline even before all the stuff with TI recently.

Looking at your report the reason I didn't reply myself is most likely
to be a combination of my expectation that someone from TI would look at
OMAP problems (at the time there were hundreds of people working on
OMAP) and the lack of detail in your mail - the bisection report was a
bit unclear as you said that you'd reverted the patch "plus a couple of
associated patches" without saying what exactly you'd backed out and
there was no analysis of the problem to engage with.
