[Linus Walleij]

== Linus Walleij linusw ==

=== Highlights ===

* Very active discussions around the pinctrl v2 patch sent sent out last
  week, much good feedback and slowly building consensus.
 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/pinctrl-pinprops-2011.11

* Refactored U300 GPIO to live in pinctrl as sibling to the U300 pinmux
  controller. Also implemented pin multiplexing and draft pin
  configuration interface (subject to change). This was done as a
  proof-of-concept that the pincontrol subsystem is good for
  something that exists out there. Will be sent out back-to-back
  with the pinconfig patch set.

* Harvesting some fixes for pinctrl

* Looked after the GPIO subsystem -rc fixes for Grant but haven't seen
  many patches, discussed a few non-rc patches.

* A lot of discussion around the PL022 driver thread safety, led to the
  submission of the patch entitled:
  "spi/pl022: make the chip deselect handling thread safe"

* Lots of mailing and reading trying to understand how to get my
  kernel.org git repo back online.

=== Plans ===

* Drive generalization of Nomadik GPIO
 by using the pinctrl framework.
 drivers/gpio/gpio-nomadik.c

* Test the PL08x patches on the Ericsson Research
 PB11MPCore and submit platform data for using
 pl08x DMA on that platform.

* Pushed out the AB8500 HWMON driver, will try to address
 review comments.

* Look into other Ux500 stuff in need of mainlining...

=== Issues ===

* Pretty much internal fuzz at my parent company due to re-
  organization.

Thanks,
Linus Walleij
