== Linus Walleij linusw ==
=== Highlights ===
* Sent pinctrl patches for v3.8 to Torvalds and he pulled them in.
* Sent a first batch of updates for the -rc series for pinctrl as well and Torvalds has pulled in these too.
* Grant has brough the pending GPIO patches upstream through his tree.
* Inquiry into the state of CodeAurora's CoreSight patch set spurred a fruitful discussion and the author has posted a first patch set.
* Working on multiplatform. So we have to take a step back: When the platform was migrated to SPARSE_IRQ all drivers should nominally have been converted to use irqdomain first. This was not the case: the AB8500 GPIO driver was missed (drivers/gpio/gpio-ab8500.c) So now it needs to be fixed. However it turns out that this driver has a number of problems, apart from being marked broken. So now I am working with Patrice Chotard and Lee Jones to reshape this driver into a proper pinctrl driver and put it into the pinctrl subsystem for v3.9. Created a blueprint for this: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/ab8500-gpio-shapeup
* Reviewed and back-merged a number of irqdomain and DT patches to the internel v3.4 baseline while interacting with the landing team. Now only AB8500 GPIO remains.
* Reviewed and back-merged the timer-based delay patches that Fabio from the landing team has been working on. We have a pending patch series for these, which will be sent to ARM SoC ASAP.
* Reviewed and back-merged Fabios sync work for the DMA40 driver.
* Sent two fixes for the Nomadik post-v3.8 so it boots again.
* Worked a bit on U300 cleanups.
=== Plans ===
* First fix the AB8500 mess.
* Attack the remaining headers in arch/arm/mach-ux500 so we can move forward with multiplatform for v3.9.
* 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 ===
* Some internal stir and vacation has affected productivity the last month.
Thanks, Linus Walleij
