Freescale Linux BSP review

[Arnd Bergmann]

Following a discussion we had on the Freescale BSP, I started a tree
at http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/arnd/imx.git;a=summary
that has the same contents as the tree on the freescale git
server, but splits them into six branches at this time, though
the number should increase.

The current split is

* master -- an octopus merge of all the other branches, identical to
            the BSP
  381 patches total
  1286 files changed, 882747 insertions(+), 2932 deletions(-)


* drv-mxc -- all drivers in the new drivers/mxc/ directory and new drivers
	    in drivers/char/, as these typically introduce new user ABIs
	    that need very careful review.
  23 patches
  189 files changed, 97215 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)


* amd-gpu -- a single but huge driver for the GPU. As is normally the
	     case with GPU drivers, we can expect long discussions
	     before it will get considered for mainline
  4 patches
  98 files changed, 278321 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)


* ath	-- another single driver that is rather large, for the ath6km
	   wifi controller. Split out because it is not owned by freescale.
  4 patches
  169 files changed, 94561 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)


* other-subsys -- device drivers for existing subsystems. These should
	          be largely uncontroversial, because they don't introduce
		  new ABIs and the code looks clean enough for a straight-
		  forward inclusion through the respective subsystem
		  maintainers.
		  Someone still needs to go through these and split them
		  up by subsystem and separate new drivers from patches
		  to existing drivers where needed.
  159 patches
  445 files changed, 270318 insertions(+), 959 deletions(-)


* arch -- everything in the arch/arm, directory, this will go through
	  review on the linux-arm-kernel mailing list.
	  This also needs to be split up further into smaller branches.
  179 patches
  378 files changed, 140275 insertions(+), 1991 deletions(-)


* external -- patches that look unrelated to the rest, and are probably
	      backported from patches that already went upstream.
