Following a discussion we had on the Freescale BSP, I started a tree at http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/arnd/imx.git%3Ba=summary that has the same contents as the tree on the freescale git server, but splits them into six branches at this time, though the number should increase.
The current split is
- master -- an octopus merge of all the other branches, identical to
the BSP 381 patches total 1286 files changed, 882747 insertions(+), 2932 deletions(-)
Arnd,
One other thing is Freescale's Android BSP has a kernel tree of more patches than this, and not all those additional patches are Android related. So they do have multiple versions of the kernel, and we may also need to figure out the best baseline for our evaluation.
- drv-mxc -- all drivers in the new drivers/mxc/ directory and new drivers
in drivers/char/, as these typically introduce new user ABIs that need very careful review. 23 patches 189 files changed, 97215 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
- amd-gpu -- a single but huge driver for the GPU. As is normally the
case with GPU drivers, we can expect long discussions before it will get considered for mainline 4 patches 98 files changed, 278321 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
- ath -- another single driver that is rather large, for the ath6km
wifi controller. Split out because it is not owned by freescale. 4 patches 169 files changed, 94561 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
- other-subsys -- device drivers for existing subsystems. These should
be largely uncontroversial, because they don't introduce new ABIs and the code looks clean enough for a straight- forward inclusion through the respective subsystem maintainers. Someone still needs to go through these and split them up by subsystem and separate new drivers from patches to existing drivers where needed. 159 patches 445 files changed, 270318 insertions(+), 959 deletions(-)
- arch -- everything in the arch/arm, directory, this will go through
review on the linux-arm-kernel mailing list. This also needs to be split up further into smaller branches. 179 patches 378 files changed, 140275 insertions(+), 1991 deletions(-)
- external -- patches that look unrelated to the rest, and are probably
backported from patches that already went upstream. 9 patches 7 files changed, 37 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-)
