Hi,
after Nicolas' announcement of linaro-2.6.39 [1] I had a look to the
bsp/freescale/linux-linaro-natty.git lt-2.6.38 kernel [2] what has to
be done to port that to 2.6.39.
Looking at that lt-2.6.38 branch, I exported 184 patches [3] which
seem to be specific for this lt kernel (?).
Then, I rebase them to Nicolas' linaro-2.6.39 using quilt. See the
attached quilt series file for which patches were used and which were
dropped (because they seem to be already in 2.6.39 mainline).
The result does compile with the imx5_defconfig. I've done no boot
tests, yet. So this is only compile tested.
The resulting quilt patch series is ~2,5MB bz2 compressed. I don't
want to send it to the mailing list. I will send it as a reply to this
mail to Eric and Nicolas. Let me know if you are interested in it, too
(or where to put it so that everybody can access it).
Note: I couldn't figure how to put binary firmware files into a patch.
This does mean that the patch series misses the firmware/imx/sdma/
files. You have to download them from [4] and put them manually to
firmware/imx/sdma/ to be able to compile imx5_defconfig successfully.
Opinions?
Best regards
Dirk

== Highlights ==
* Fill in the blueprint of 11.11. cycle, continue study some information
* MX53 u-boot upstream, loco board support patch serials already in
u-boot master branch
and will be included into the v2011.06 release.
== Plans ==
* Fill the blueprint spec.
* Some u-boot patches upstream review and revision.
== Absence ==
* vacation from 12 June to 29 June,
== Per Forlin <perfor> ==
=== Highlights ===
* Reviewing dependencies of the storage blueprints,
* investigated sdio single irq issue in libertas.
* Setting up wl12xx_sdio_test on pandaboard (ongoing)
== Thomas Abraham <thomas-ab> ==
=== Highlights ===
* Discussed with IBM Engineer, Ankita Garg, about memory regions patchset.
* Study of DDR3 specification and a Samsung DDR3 part datasheet to
understand power consumed during various bank states.
* Measured power consumed by DDR3 on smdkv310 board.
* Discussed with Samsung Landing team about ARM consolidation work.
=== Plans ===
* Complete all the power measurements on smdkv310 board as suggested by Ankita.
* Test memory regions patches on Exynos4 platform.
== Shawn Guo (shawnguo) ==
=== Device Tree ===
* It exposed build error when sdhci-pltfm&OF-consolidation patch set
hits linux-next tree. It turns out there is problem with multiple
sdhci-pltfm based drivers compiling and module build. Sent a
follow-up patch to fix these problems. Chris had picked it up on
mmc-next tree.
=== ARM/imx consolidation ===
* The patches that move imx gpio drivers under subarch into
drivers/gpio have hit Grant's tree.
* The patches converting gpio-mxc and gpio-mxs to use basic_mmio_gpio
library are on the way to be accepted. Tens of LOC will be saved
for each driver.
=== Misc ===
* Sent the v2 of dma-set/get-max_segment_number patch to explain why
the patch is needed.
* Added leds-gpio support for mx28evk board.
=== Plan ===
* Keep looking at if the imx irq_chip and gpio_irq_chip can be migrated
to generic_irq_chip

Just a heads up, I'm out Weds-Friday next week.
=== Highlights ===
* Rebased linaro+android tree to Nico's final 2.6.38 kernel for the
11.05 release
* Sent out first pass at suspend/resume drift improvement (Similar
method to what Android uses)
* Had an initial meeting with AndyG and Zach
* Sent out a number of clocksource_register_khz/hz cleanups
* Queued an prepped a bunch of community RTC, and PTP fixups for 3.0 and
sent Thomas pull requests.
* Queued a few RTC fixups and TSC improvements for 3.1
* Started work on 2.6.39 based Linaro+Android tree on top of Nico's
2.6.39 tree.
* BeagleBoard seems to be working fine
* Panda HDMI output support is gone (need to be rebased and merged
into Nico's tree)
* Started working on an internal presentation.
=== Plans ===
* Short week: I'm on vacation Weds-Friday.
* Try to queue suspend/resume drift correction for 3.1
* Continue working bug #789089
* Continue to work RTC issue from lkml.
* More internal presentation prep
=== Issues ===
* NA
== Paul E. McKenney <paulmck> ==
=== Highlights ==
* Continued tracking down issues relating to RCU priority boosting in mainline,mostly boot-time slowdowns that I cannot reproduce.
* Worked on ARM server whitepaper.
* Attended public plan reviews.
== Miscellaneous ==
* Got out third release of "Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It?" (http://paulmck.livejournal.com/26906.html).
* Linux Plumbers Conference refereed-track submissions reviewed. Jesse Barker's "Unified Memory Management" microconference proposal accepted.
