== Linus Walleij linusw ==
=== Highlights ===
* Grant merged the SPI message queue core patch, also Mark Browns patch moving the Samsung SPI driver to use this central message queue.
* Discussed dmaengine. This is pretty important, it looks like someone needs to step up and look into the channel mapping problem which is a pretty big piece of work.
* Pushed out an interesting core driver patch that was harvested from Rabin inside ST-Ericsson.
* Pushed out a new set of three MFD patches for AB8500 trying to keep things in sync.
* Reviewed and ACK:ed a set of 7 device tree patches for ux500 by Lee Jones, now probably merged by Arnd.
* Reviewed and ACK:ed the v7 clk patches from Mike Turquette.
* Volunteered for the MMCI driver maintenanceship. Russell will keep it for now even though it's marked "orphaned" in MAINTAINERS.
* Discussed a bit around ALSA SoC AB8500 codec implementation driven by Ola LILJA from ST-Ericsson.
* Discussed some LED patches from Bryan Wu.
=== Plans ===
* Get ready to issue pull request for pinctrl this coming merge window.
* Prepare to convert ux500 (gpio-nomadik) to pinctrl for the kernel 3.5 timeframe.
* Attending the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose 27th thru 30th of march.
* Tentative easter vacation first week april.
* Test the U9540 core patches on real hardware and rework as outlined by Arnd.
* 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... like - Ux500 clocks - the HWMON stuff.
=== Issues ===
* We really need someone to look at dmaengine for member SoCs.
