== Dave Martin <dmart> ==
=== Activity Summary ===
* vexpress device tree: progressing, delayed further by agreeing
details with ARM people and resolving issues with specific drivers.
Everything is now pretty much resolved, so I should definitely be
posting the patches in the coming week.
* v6/v7 single kernel Thumb-2 undef fixup patches: currently waiting
for Russell/Arnd to comment
* Fixing some Thumb-2 related randconfig errors reported by Arnd:
* pxa/pj4/iwmmxt uses non-Thumb-2-compatible code: waiting for
feedback (probably needs a Marvell expert to comment)
* tegra2 uses non-Thumb-2-compatible code: waiting for feedback from
Colin Cross.
=== Plans ===
* Complete and post advice for Thumb-2 kernel migration.
* Post DT contributions and post.
* Follow up on Thumb-2 randconfig problems.
* Check whether the new kernel trees work in Thumb-2 on mx51evk and
follow up with Freescale landing team.

== Linus Walleij linusw ==
=== Highlights ===
* Seventh iteration codenamed Janitor of the pinmux/pin control
framework, adressing ever more comments and shortcomings, and
I'm ever more happy with the result:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=131617524205706&w=2
* Various small patches to the Integrator to keep my sanity.
=== Plans ===
* Third round around the gpio.h cleanups.
* Test the PL08x patches on the Ericsson Research
PB11MPCore and submit platform data for using
pl08x DMA on that platform.
* Drive generalization of U300 and Nomadik GPIO
* Get into struct clk generalization and movement of clk
drivers into drivers/clk
* Watch the DBx500 PRCMU drivers update
* Mainline some ux500 U-Boot stuff so it can atleast boot
the system.
=== Issues ===
* Appended device trees does not work for us.
Still don't know why.
* Shanghaiied for internal advisory at ST-Ericsson for
too much time last week, ~20-30% so I'll be working from
home a bit to reduce stress levels.
Thanks,
Linus Walleij
== Per Forlin <perfor> ==
=== Highlights ===
* sent out patches to fix boot-parameters for MMC fault injection
with help from Akinobu Mita (mmc: add module param to set fault
injection attributes)
* hacked together a Snowball u-boot on top of v2011-06 to help DT
development on Snowball.
* run kexec-reboot on Snowball, had to do some patching and disable
SMP in order to kexec-reboot successfully.
=== Completed work items ===
* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro/+spec/kernel-kexec-st-e-platforms
* Set up and build kexec kernel for Snowball: DONE
* Verify that kexec can start executing the crash-kernel: DONE
* Verify kexec reboot of a minimal crash-kernel with ramdisk,
execute in place mem, nosmp: DONE
* Test kexec-reboot on ST-Ericsson platforms with boot from flash,
execute in place mem, nosmp: DONE
* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/kernel-ste-board-descri…
* Add Snowball support to u-boot v2011-06 (just make it work): DONE
=== Plans ===
This is my last day I'm leaving Linaro and returning to development at
ST-Ericsson. You may contact me at per.forlin(a)stericsson.com. Thanks
for a great time!
Release Management needs the list of the the blueprints that will be
delivered this month.
For each bp, they want a Headline and Acceptance criteria. The Headline is a
statement to include in the Monthly release announcement. The acceptance
criteria is a statement how to verify the work is done.
I have collected this month's blueprints in the spreadsheet, please review
it for accuracy. If a blueprint you are working on is missing, please add
it.
The Headline and Acceptance can be added into the whiteboard as follows:
Headline:
headline text
Acceptance:
acceptance text
Once you add the the headline and acceptance, please modify the spreadsheet
to reflect that it is done.

Thanks in advance,

=== Activity Summary ===
* vexpress device tree: progressing, but some delay due to
coordinating with the activities of other ARM people
* v6/v7 single kernel Thumb-2 undef fixup patches: currently waiting
for Russell/Arnd to comment
* Fixing some Thumb-2 related randconfig errors reported by Arnd:
* pxa/pj4/iwmmxt uses non-Thumb-2-compatible code: waiting for
feedback (probably needs a Marvell expert to comment)
* tegra2 uses non-Thumb-2-compatible code: waiting for feedback.
* Started writing up Thumb-2 kernel porting advice.
=== Plans ===
* Complete and post advice for Thumb-2 kernel migration.
* Integrate vexpress DT contributions and post.
* Follow up on Thumb-2 randconfig problems.
* Check whether the new kernel trees work in Thumb-2 on mx51evk and
follow up with Freescale landing team.
=== Work Items ===
kernel-versatile-boad-description-and-implementation:
* [dave-martin-arm] Update previously-posted patches to work with
current upstream: DONE
* [dave-martin-arm] Merge other contributors' does: INPROGRESS
=== Absences ===
none planned
=== i.MX6Q DT ===
* Posted the first version of imx6q patch series. Arnd criticized
the clock code for not using device tree for probing the clock data.
However, this can only be done when the clock framework and common
clock device tree binding are available, and unfortunately these two
things are still up in the air without a specified time for being
ready.
* With the debugging clue from Russell, imx6q suspend support now can
work with generic cpu_suspend/resume without needing to flush entire
L2 cache.
=== Plan ===
* Ask people's opinion about accepting imx6q patch series without
waiting for clock framework and common clock device tree binding.

== Linus Walleij linusw ==
=== Highlights ===
* Helped trying to get device tree up on U8500. Discovered
that appended device tree patches are not working for us,
triangulated and confirmed that it does not work on
the RealView PB1176 either. Root tree nodes return
NULL.
* Various small patches to the Integrator to keep my sanity.
=== Plans ===
* v7 (Janitor) iteration of the pinctrl + pinmux subsystem
* Third round around the gpio.h cleanups.
* Test the PL08x patches on the Ericsson Research
PB11MPCore and submit platform data for using
pl08x DMA on that platform.
* Drive generalization of U300 and Nomadik GPIO
* Get into struct clk generalization and movement of clk
drivers into drivers/clk
* Watch the DBx500 PRCMU drivers update
=== Issues ===
* Appended device trees does not work for us.
Maybe we need to fix U-Boot instead so we can use
the same approach as everyone else. Since our
U-Boot is a 2009 snapshot, this will require some
effort.
* Shanghaiied for internal advisory at ST-Ericsson for
say 13% of working hours last week.
Thanks,
Linus Walleij
== Thomas Abraham <thomas-ab> ==
=== Highlights ===
* Submitted device tree support patches for Exynos4 keypad controller driver.
* Re-based pl330 dma controller device tree on top of pl330 driver
updated patches and tested it.
=== Plans ===
* Resubmit device tree support patches for pl330 dma controller and
keypad driver with changes suggested during review.
* Resubmit device tree support patches for uart, i2c and sdhci after
removing dependency on platform data.
* Submit device tree enabled board file for smdkv310 and origen boards.
=== Misc ===
* Was on leave on 9th September.
