[Linus Walleij]

== Linus Walleij linusw ==

=== Highlights ===

* Reviewed and merged some patches to pin control,
  Tony Lindgren is starting to show interest and
  submitting good patches.

* Discussing pinmux ...

* Reviewed different patches here and there. Tried
  to do some Ux500 upstreaming.

* Preparing a conference presentation on pin control
  for the Embedded Linux Conference. This will be
  used as a basis for public explanation and transparency
  into the subject as well.

* Apart from this occupied by administration (such as
  travel arrangements, VISA etc) and internal meetings at
  ST-Ericsson due to different things.

=== Plans ===

* Send patches upstream for -rc1 or -rc2.

* Prepare for Linaro Connect, Android Builders and ELC.

* dummy pinmuxes akin to dummy regulators, we need
 to see if this is a good idea or not.

* 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.

* Look into other Ux500 stuff in need of mainlining...
 like
 - Ux500 clocks
 - the HWMON stuff.

=== Issues ===

* Tried to run a pin control meeting. Nobody from my
  work group turned up. Luckily I had Mounir and Tony
  Lindgren there to comfort me.

* Ux500 mainlining having second priority.

Thanks,
Linus Walleij
