From 7d7501b66a244398c72fcf02cb57bb704cb5f2fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Shevchenko Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 09:08:45 +0100 Subject: fbtft: Update REAMDE to slow down the stream of undesired cleanups Lately the enormous amount of some untested cleanups started coming to a mailing list. This adds an unneeded and undesired burden on the reviewers and maintainers. Try to stop that by clearly state what we accept and on what conditions in the README file.
