== Device Tree ==
 * The .dtb support has been available in hwpack daily build and lmc
   v0.0.4.  Tested it on mx51 babbage and it works out of box.
 * With the help from Dave and Nico, the failure of John Bonesio's
   append-dtb patch on babbage was killed.  It's caused by the use
   of static variable in uncompressed.h, which will not be relocated
   because it's not in .bss section.
 * Caught the problem of babbage.dtb memory node, which misses
   'device_type' property.

== Non-blocking MMC testing ==
 * Added pre_req and post_req for SDHCI driver, but did not see
   performance gain on mx51 esdhc.  No comments from Per Forlin on
   that so far.
 * Added pre_req and post_req for for mxs-mmc driver and saw ~4%
   performance improvement at the best case.  Per Forlin gave some
   comments saying pre_req and post_req were not added correctly.  But
   I do not completely understand his comments and asked him for
   clarification.  No further response yet so far.

== Misc ==
 * Respond to Wolfram's comments on sdhci-pltfm&of-consolidation patch
   set.  Will work on the v2 next week.
 * Reviewed a few mxs/mxc patches.
