Sorry for this being late! Took most of Friday off and forgot to send it
before heading to the coast!
=== Highlights ===
* "Facilitated discussion" (AKA: Nagged enough developers) on android
scheduler trivial tree patch I sent out earlier, that it got queued and
merged.
* Android trivial mm patch was merged upstream
* Spent a few days chasing down a HDMI regression on beagle XM (thanks
to Ricardo Salveti for helping!). Finally got it resolved and pushed the
fix.
* Merged and made a git pull request for Richard Cochran's PTP patches
that have been in the works for awhile. Patches were able to land for
3.0-rc1.
* Merged RTC fixups for stmp3xxx from Wolfram, but they will need
further work to get upstream.
* Took an initial stab at the RTC suspend/resume drift correction
suggested by Arve.
* Starting working on the repeated console suspend failure notification
issue ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/789089 ).
=== Plans ===
* Refresh Linaro Android tree with latest bits from Nico
* Continue working bug #789089
* Try to get a patch to lkml for suspend/resume drift correction
* Rework Wolfram's RTC patches
* Try to diagnose RTC issue from lkml.
=== Issues ===
* NA
== Dave Martin <dmart> ==
=== General Activity ===
* Discussed work items and assignments with Deepak Saxena.
* kernel snapshot testing
=== linaro-kernel-o-standard-arch ===
* {set,get}_fiq_regs patches for Thumb-2 compatibility now
merged upstream.
=== Plans ===
* Test Thumb-2 kernel on vexpress. If it works (likely)
follow up with John Rigby so we can use Thumb-2 on vexpress
by default.
* Sync up with freescale landing team regarding Thumb-2 kernel
testing and reployment.
== Deepak Saxena <dsaxena> ==

* Observed issues with SD/MMC during bootup
- It might be due to issue with my panda board since other users are not
able to reproduce the same.
=== Plans for Next Week ===
* Need to get replacement for non working panda board with working one.
* DT support for OMAP panda. Will be working on board file for adapting it
to DT.
