====DT====
* Work on the six step as Grant shows in the link:
http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/devicetree-discuss/2011-March/005024.html,
for the uboot part, I have already mailine it
for i.mx51 babbage board. As for other part, work is in progress.
I will send the whole patch set to grant soon.
====Kernel configuration ====
* NONE

=== Highlights ===
* Submitted a basic device tree patch for smdkv310 board for inclusion
in smdkv310 hardware pack
* Submitted second version of prerequisite patchset for device tree
support on s5pv310
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-samsung-soc/msg04439.html)
* Working on adding device tree based clock lookup code (based on
of_clock_add_provider)
=== Plans ===
* Submit a third version of s5pv310 dt patchset with clock lookup,
serial, watchdog and sdhci driver support.
=== Issues ===
* None.
== Kernel Development ==
* Reviewed drivers: MEI, cg2900, 23c2510, spear13xx-pcie
* Continued guiding the graduation of the IIO drivers from staging
== Flash memory ==
* Discussed about DRM features for SD cards
* Integrated results from flashbench-results mailing list into wiki

=== mmc async (optimizations for dma) ===
* Tuned DT (http://www.scsifaq.org/RMiller_Tools/dt.html) together
with fault generation
in order to test error handling in mmc async implementation
* Fix bugs in mmc async implementation (ongoing)
=== mmc trim ===
* Extended trim test cases with secure erase and trim but write
performance (after trim) is still not as high as expected. I probably
need to go over the eMMC spec again to find my mistakes.

Hello!
Please note that the earlier of the two calls will be at 8AM PDT
(3PM GMT, 4PM London time). The second of the two calls will be
12 hours later.
For other timezones, I recommend:

Thanx, Paul
I.e. does CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL imply ARMv7 or newer?
I assume this is the intent as arch/arm/Kconfig has
depends on CPU_V7 && !CPU_V6 && !CPU_V6K && EXPERIMENTAL
and there are no hits for the string "v6t" in the source tree

Hello Folks,
This is my first post to the list. I have been investigating porting
software to the Linaro system (on OMAP 4) and I came across this issue.
Basically, the kernel appears to report that it does not provide Robust
Mutex support? This would seem to be some kind of kernel build/configuration
issue?
The reason I'm asking is that our software system checks for (and uses)
robust mutex features and I had originally built everything on the Ubuntu
10.10 release for Pandaboard only to discover this problem. I tried an 11.04
alpha 3 install on my Pandaboard and robust mutex appeared to work, so I
transferred all our work to that... But now again (after a few updates on
that system) robust mutex seems to be again turned off somewhere.
Any suggestions on how to resolve? Should one expect robust mutex
support?
-Sincerely,
Todd Pack

* Worked on my Android ELC presentation
* CLOCK_BOOTTIME was merged into 2.6.39
* Released initial omap4 defconfig for Linaro Android kernel
* Reviewed PTP patchset on lkml
* Assisting another team with customer NTP issue.
* Identified and resolved a RTC regression with Xen
* Discussed issues surrounding the new direction of the RTC drivers
=== Plans ===
* Presenting my ELC presentation internally, get feedback
* Push Xen RTC fix to mainline
* Spend some additional time debugging the NTP issue I'm assisting with
* Try to get some time to focus on Panda HDMI functionality with
Android kernel
=== Issues ===
* Still have the config work that is getting pinched for time. May need
some extra assistance with those work items.

==== hardware-n-kernel-standard-architecture ====
* Put out an RFC regarding how VFP/NEON state should be
represented in core files. Agreed with Ulrich Weigand that
there should be a new note, with structure matching that
yielded by the PTRACE_GETVFPREGS call.
==== miscellaneous ====
* Some time spent helping work around network issues in the
Linaro Cambridge office. Set up a fallback DNS/DHCP server
in case of a repeat of the router failures observed
previously.
* Some time spent helping Dave Pigott get up to speed.
* Set up an iMX53 loco board in the Linaro Cambridge office.
* Some more time spent dealing with ARM internal issues.
=== Plans ===
* Try and reflash U-Boot on the validation lab u8500 boards.
* Set up the remaining Freescale boards in validation lab.
* Write up the output from the Freescale i.MX BSP review
discussion, and post for comment.
=== Issues ===
* iMX53 loco boards can't auto-power-on, which is a problem
for the validation farm.
ericm and the Freecale guys are investigating possible
workarounds.
