Hi,

WRT to .dtb files:  I see sources in the kernel tree but they don't appear to be built as part of the kernel build.  How are these produced and how can I build a modified one for some testing?

Nicolas' linaro-2.6.39 tree has the patch which supports building the .dtb files directly from make. I've not pushed that patch to mainline since it is still the .dts files are probably going to be kept in an external repo with the DT binding documentation, but I've not created that repo yet.

To build them from Nicolas' tree, just do: make <filename>.dtb. For some configs, "make dtbs" will also work.
