I think you need to stop basing on top of linux-next and move to basing on top of the smallest possible set of trees other than mainline.
Sorry for learning and fixing delays...
I have now created a tree based on Torvalds' clean v2.6.37-rc1 that is available straight off kernel.org:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-stericsson.git
NOTE: I am no Jedi yet. I still have to learn a few things about git I believe, right now this is really a -next type tree where I rebase the topic branches partly against each other, so it is being pushed out with forced updates, sometimes changing a lot of stuff inside the branches.
Today's series seems to apply almost cleanly on top of Russell's ARM tree, so as a start, you can create one git tree based on his and apply all your patches on top.
Right now this is just plain old v2.6.37-rc1 since Russell merged a lot of the stuff we wanted into that RC.
But if desired by the other members I can sure move over to Russells tree as a baseline.
Create a master branch in your git than merges all the separate branches for people to test out your code.
Exploring the remote branches on that git you will find a "next" tag now..
You can also have multiple branches based on Linus Torvald's tree, e.g. for things like i2c or mtd that do not depend on changes in Russell's or anyone else's tree.
Right now this is what I have.
Now we only need to mainline a few thousand patches of platform support :-)
Yours, Linus Walleij
