=== Highlights ===
* Drilled into the RCU lockup. With some help from Paul McKenney we got a task dump from CPU0 (the CPU that is locking) but not much more - only the swapper thread is running there and we need to dump its stack.
* Puffed and pinged on the SPARSE_IRQ patch, yet no reaction so far.
* Mainlining some stuff in the PL011 driver that has been sitting internally for some time. Easy stuff went in first and then we ran into the trickier patches - some odd baudrates are impossible since th TTY layer will "snap" the baudrate to a standard baudrate from a table if it's "close enough". We used to work around this by not calling out to the TTY layer in the PL011 driver for certain baudrates, but this is duct-taping. Still debating the real solution with Alan Cox and Russell King who help out a lot.
* Reviewed and merged various GPIO patches.
* Reviewed and merged various pinctrl patches.
* Reviewed some ux500 patches coming from Lee.
* Reviewed Arnd's iomem cleanups.
* Sent out Patrice Chotard's pinctrl patch for the PL022 SPI driver, Mark has merged it.
=== Plans ===
* Ongoing work on sparse IRQ for Nomadik and Ux500.
* Test the PL08x patches on the Ericsson Research PB11MPCore and submit platform data for using pl08x DMA on that platform.
* Look into other Ux500 stuff in need of mainlining... using an internal tracking sheet for this.
* Look into regmap. Try something out, get to know it.
=== Issues ===
* N/A
