=== Device Tree ===
 * Start looking at the DT support for imx audio driver.  The first
   step would be consolidating SSI driver between PowerPC family and
   i.MX family.  Since the hardware IP is basically the same one for
   PowerPC and i.MX, it does not make sense to Tabi Timur (PowerPC
   SSI developer from Freescale) that we keep forking the driver for
   these two architecture, so he NAK-ed the patch adding DT probe
   support into i.MX SSI driver.  Instead, he requested to make the
   PowerPC one work for i.MX, since the DT support is already there.
   But that is a much bigger effort than simply adding DT probe based
   on imx SSI driver, and will need to take some time.

 * After an extensive discussion with Stephen Warren and Aisheng on
   pinctrl DT binding, we are approaching some level of agreement.
   Stephen came up a draft proposal based on the discussion, which
   should work at least for imx and tegra.

=== imx6 maintenance ===
 * Tested BSYM usage fixing series from Rob Herring on imx6q
 * Tested smp_twd runtime registration series from Marc Zyngier on imx6q
 * Reviewed the second version of audio board level changes and imx-dma
   driver fix-up series from Richard Zhao
 * Sent a patch to add missing twd_clk for imx6q clock, and I queued
   this one for 3.3-rc series.

=== mxs maintenance ===
 * Reviewed a apx4devkit saif board level fixing from Lauri Hintsala
 * Helped on a couple mx28 fec clock queries

=== Misc ===
 * Sent v2 of patch common/image.c to align usage of fdt_high with
   initrd_high to update fdt_high documentation and fix an issue with
   0xffffffff case.

=== Vacation ===
 * 2 weeks (Jan 23 and Jan 30) China Spring Festival Holiday (Will
   try to check email from time to time though)
