== Dave Martin <dmart> ==
=== Activity Summary ===
* Reviewing of Pawel's versatile express patches and related discussions
(steadily progressing -- there are a few issues to resolve, but the
series appears almost ready. Some issues came up when testing.)
* Reposted kconfig cleanup patches, responding to comments from various
people, and adding cleanup for CONFIG_SMP.
* Spent a bit more time on AMBA bindings.
=== Plans ===
* Propose AMBA driver changes to replace NO_IRQ with a test compatible
with the "0 means no irq" convention.
* Continue to miscellaneous outstanding DT issues (bindings, drivers)
forward.

Christmas (2011-12-19 - 2012-01-03)
With the latest 3.1.5 merge linux-linaro-3.1 fails to build on Jenkins:

I originally saw this with my packaged kernel builds so checked the
unpackaged version to see if it was a config/sauce issue from
packaging.
3.1 or 3.2?
Android seems to be going with 3.2 judging by a pre-release version,
what about the kernel working group and Ubuntu?
And where do we find out about these things? Because I find it a bit too
late to not find out until the releases is done.

== Thomas Abraham <thomas-ab> ==
=== Highlights ===
* Submitted regulator device tree support patches for pmic block of max8997
* Submitted regulator support patches for platform-lcd driver.
* Submitted irq domain and device tree support patches for Exynos4
interrupt combiner.
* Submitted irq domain and device tree support patches for Exynos4
wakeup interrupts.
* Submitted device tree support patches for Exynos4 power domains.
=== Plans ===
* v2 of regulator device tree support patches for pmic block of max8997.
* v2 of regulator support patches for platform-lcd driver.
* v2 of irq domain and device tree support patches for Exynos4
interrupt combiner.
* Review the latest pin config patches and pinctrl dt discussion.
* Populate Exynos specific pinmux definitions in Samsung pinctrl driver.
=== Device Tree ===
* Sent v3 of mc13892-regulator device tree support series for a minor
document change. Hopefully this is the last version.
* Started looking into pinctrl DT binding discussion for the later
imx pinctrl DT support.
=== Consolidation and cleanup ===
* Reviewed imx pinmux initial support series from Aisheng
* Tested pinmux patch on imx6q
* Reviewed Rob's adding irqdomain for irq_chip_generic patch and
tested it on imx5 with some feedback and breakage report
=== Misc ===
* Reviewed fec fix-up patches from Lothar
* Reviewed mxs-mmc fix-up patches from Lothar
* Reviewed Fabio's patch adding uart wakeup support and tested
it on imx6q

== Rajendra Nayak <rnayak> ==
=== Highlights ===
* Working on making the pinmux/pinconf (which I initially got working
only on OMAP4) to work on all OMAPs. The challenge is to manage the
data size (for pins and pinfunc/pingrps) which is getting large.
For now passing data from platform code (till there is some
conclusion on how to pass data from DT)
* Did some work on moving leaf clocks to DT. Need more changes in
the way hwmod handles setting up early modules.
=== Plans ===
* Repost TWL regulator support after a rebase on top of the latest
i2c/twl series from Benoit.
* Continue work on pinmux/pinconf for OMAP and post patches for
common pinmux/pinconf supporting all OMAPs (with data in passed
from platform code)
* Continue working on moving leaf clock nodes to DT.
=== Misc ===
* Will be taking off the week before Xmas (19th to 23rd Dec) and work
through the Xmas week.
== Venkatraman S svenkatr ==
=== Highlights ===
* Created elevator API description and mapping document for CFQ and
deadline scheduler
https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ap8HyUkSzX2JdGFnQ…
*Generated iozone metrics for CFQ and deadline scheduler for comparison.
* Understanding the work completed on fs-block-allocation and try the
flashbench utility
* Synced up with Saugata on eMMC4.5 Context-ID and Data-Tag
implementation requirements
=== Plans ===
* Study of deadline scheduler and comparison with CFQ on random
workloads with flashbench
* Restart work on eMMC-HPI implementation - plan to post initial draft
by e/o December
* Study UFS and draft a validation spec for UFS
=== Highlights ===
* Synced with GregKH on plans for adding some android patches to
staging.
* Reworked Android ashmem patches so they could be included in staging.
Sent out for review to Greg and Android team. Got some feedback from
Arve, and am working to address his concerns.
* Worked out what other Android patches were necessary to get the
staging kernel up and running with ICS (luckily, its only one more patch
in addition to the ashmem changes).
* Starting looking at requirements to get Android alarm-timer driver
(and the pending patches I have to simplify the driver and make it use
the upstreamed posix alarm timer code) into staging.
* Sent mail to Andrey Konovalov with overview of the old linaro+android
kernel maintenance process, and my understanding of the new goals around
linaro kernel tree maintenance going forward.
* Due to the shortened schedule this month, released an initial 11.12
Linaro+Android kernel so there is something to work with while Andrey
ramps up to speed.
=== Plans ===
* Continue working to get ashmem patches for staging reviewed and acked
by Android team. Push resulting queue to Greg.
* Continue looking at android alarmtimer driver for staging. It requires
the wakelock patches, so either I cut out wakelocks or wait for some
form of wakelocks to go upstream.
* Look into what other bits from the Android patch set could possibly go
into staging.
* Address the SCHEC_MC option getting dropped from android defconfigs.
* Try to send the timekeeping locking changes to tglx.
=== Issues ===
* None.
== Saugata Das sdas ==
=== Activity Summary ===
* Continued review and follow up on MMC-4.5 patches with Samsung.
Helping on power OFF notify patch
* Studying the blueprint for file system block size > 4KB,
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/vfs-larger-than-4k-bloc…
* Studying the blueprint for data tag and context ID,
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/linaro-kernel-emmc4.5-c…
=== Plans ===
* Propose the data tag patch within next two weeks
=== Issues ===
* In order to use the Samsung 4.5 eMMC sample, we need to do hardware
modification, which needs specialised equipments. Will need sometime
to prepare the setup for verification of 4.5 patches.
