I noticed all the fine AndyDoan/Ricardo fixes that make panda wonderful are missing. My question now is should that stuff go back in or should we plan on a LT/BSP kernel for full functionality.

This is the strategy of this game. If it isn't going upstream you lose.
First, please don't take offense to this feedback. I know kernel banter can have a harsh undertone.
Am I really harsh?
I'd like to suggest this kind of feedback isn't appropriate. The issues concerning what can't be upstreamed are well known.
I'm not talking about what can't be upstreamed. I'm talking about what _can_ be upstreamed and still isn't.
In practice this means that AndyDoan/Ricardo will have to do their work again on top of this tree, and then I might merge it.
I'd like to further suggest that in the interest of cooperation that we take a more constructive tone. We're all going to need to work closely to accomplish our goals of upstreaming support for these boards and unifying implementations.
Isn't that what we're all doing?
Anyway I don't understand why you need to talk about "constructive tone" here, unless you read something different in my words than I actually meant. But mind you, that wouldn't be the first time this happened to me.
Confused.
