Question: should be dissolve the driver completely and move this code to arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/ (and rename intel_sgx.c as main.c)? Swapping patch removes the possibility to compile this as a module anyway. Would make also maintainer hierarchy more clear and clean albeit that cannot be a guiding reason to do such change. Here's the current MAINTAINERS entry in my master: INTEL SGX M: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakki...@linux.intel.com> M: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopher...@intel.com> L: linux-...@vger.kernel.org S: Maintained Q: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/intel-sgx/list/ T: git https://github.com/jsakkine-intel/linux-sgx.git F: arch/x86/include/asm/sgx.h F: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/sgx.h F: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_sgx.c F: drivers/platform/x86/intel_sgx/* K: \bSGX_ If we do this, we would end up with this: INTEL SGX M: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakki...@linux.intel.com> M: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopher...@intel.com> L: linux-...@vger.kernel.org S: Maintained Q: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/intel-sgx/list/ T: git https://github.com/jsakkine-intel/linux-sgx.git F: arch/x86/include/asm/sgx.h F: arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/sgx.h F: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/sgx/* K: \bSGX_ Then once the base code has been merged I would put my PRs to x86 maintainers for subsequent kernel releases. /Jarkko
