Greetings,

Enclosed you'll find a link to the agenda, minutes and actions from the
Linaro kernel working group weekly meeting of Jan 31, 2011.

=== Summary ===

* Rebased Linaro tree on 2.6.38-rc1.

* Device tree
* Have engineers on Samsung, Beagle, Panda, Tegra, Versatile Express and handling backward compatibility for common devices.
    The goal is to get device-tree turned on in most/all builds. Need device-tree work for standard clock sources.
* Close to getting core device-tree patches into Nicolas's tree, but fighting device-tree corruption bug on Versatile Express.
Also chasing down an issue that shows up only on qemu. Have a patch that finesses clock sources by requiring a couple of device-tree APIs from SoC-specific clock code, but which can be superseded by real clock support.
* Working to allow driver to retrieve device-specific information from device tree in order to make progress while core device-tree code is being refined.
    The kernel must still be passed a full device tree, but this allows SoCs to implement device tree incrementally as core device-tree support is put in place. Mentor and Xylinx also contributing to device tree.
* Device tree support for Samsung platforms. Getting device-support information from device tree. Will post device tree DTS file to ensure that we all agree on format.
    Grant suggests making DTS filename reflect platform, and also using "include" facility to reduce duplication.
* Some clock work in progress for device tree. Locking issues being addressed.

* Looking to upstreaming TI BSP, figuring out the best way to get all 2,000 patches upstream.

* Linaro Android kernel
* Now boots, pushed changes to Linaro git tree.
* Reviewing Andorid patches and looking to find minimal set of patches to get Android UI running (ashven and binder).
* Pushing second chunk of clock-related patches up to -tip via Thomas Gleixner.
* Suspend-blocker interaction with first chunk previously pushed will require some application interaction, but this is all a bit speculative given lack of suspend blockers in mainline.

* Working on uboot SPL for OMAP4, making a mini-uboot from uboot to replace xloader. Making clock configuration independent of CPU frequency. Some roadblocks in eMMC support -- excessive memory footprint.

* Chasing down tightened real-time checks, which cause failures when forward porting TREE_RCU priority boosting to the 2.6.38 series.
