* Working on Linaro-kernel transition, this month release will be the first release based on Andrey Linaro-kernel-tracking release.

* Device Tree * Started looking at the DT support for imx audio driver. The first step would be consolidating SSI driver between PowerPC family and i.MX family. Working on making the PowerPC driver work for i.MX, since the DT support is already there.

* pinctrl DT binding is approaching some level of agreement, after an extensive discussion with Stephen Warren, Aisheng and Shawn, Stephen came up with a draft proposal based on the discussion, which should work at least for imx and tegra.

* Storage * Data tag patch pushed to mmc-next * Debug session together with Venkat for the BKOPS issue * Context ID patch prepared. Internal review ongoing

* Android * Started work on a range-tree algorithm for better managing the volatile page ranges used with the fadvise volatile mapping alternative to ashmem. * Got buy in from alternative monotonic evdev input timestamp patch. * Sent a small missing patch for Android lowmemory http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/13/251 * Performed some low memory killer behaviour tests regarding how it handles full file cache conditions, looking at why it starts killing processes

* kconfig * Merge_config.sh script is ready for merging, it is now with the kbuild maintainer and not to Linus, so its unlikely to make it in for 3.3. * Reposted merge_config.sh script and sent it to Andrey for inclusion into the linaro kernel.

* misc * Reviewed charger manager and TI LP8727 drivers. This is now all in mainline via this pull request: http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/10/514

Best regards, Mounir
