[Linus Walleij]

== Linus Walleij linusw ==

=== Highlights ===

* Grant merged the SPI (PL022) patches to the SPI tree.

* GKH merge thed serial (PL011) patchs to the TTY tree.

* Andrew merged the lp5521 patch to the mm tree.

* Russell merged patches that nuked the ARM build errors in
 kisskb on 5 platforms: h7201, h7202, iop13xx, iop32x and iop33x
 http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/branch/9/

* Sent a ux500 pull request to Arnd for the arm-soc tree, then
  I got impatient and sent another one :-)

* Arranged access to a RealView PB11MPCore machine that
  may prove instrumental in ARM consolidation work. Ericsson
  Research has this machine, and they give me access to their
  premises permanently (noone else is using the machine
  anyway)

* Sent a patch set to consolidate the RealView LEDs in the
  spirit of Bryan Wu's LED consolidation. Had to invent a new
  ARM CPU busy indicator LED trigger in the process:

* Send a redux patchset for the Nomadik GPIO that excludes
  the generic config stuff that seems to have gone into limbo.

=== Plans ===

* Swedish national holiday 2011-06-24 so absent that day,
  sending this report today.

* New iteration of the pinctrl + pinmux subsystem, v4, v3 has
 been discussed a lot:

* Drive generalization of U300 and Nomadik GPIO

* Get into struct clk generalization and movement of clk
 drivers into drivers/clk - handover from Jeremy Kerr

* Vacation 2011-07-01 thru 2011-07-31
 I will only do FUN hacking during vacation!

* Vacation after sprint meeting 2011-08-07 thru 2011-08-12
 I will only do FUN hacking during vacation!

=== Issues ===

* Generalizing/consolidating U300 and Nomadik GPIO
 controllers to use struct gpio_chip and gpiolib and struct irq_chip
 seems to be unpopular, I wonder if anyone cares?

* No clue where to find relevant WI:s in Launchpad, never used that stuff
 before.
