Hi,
As discussed at UDS/LDS, there is a very good chance that the next Linaro release will be based on kernel version 2.6.38.
What that means is that we still have 4-6 weeks to get some code into various maintainer trees before the 2.6.38 merge window opens in early January. If you are working on consolidation of some feature across SoCs, it might be nice to get this code in before then so that we don't have to backport patches for the release.
