== Linus Walleij linusw ==
=== Highlights ===
* Intense activity on pinctrl and gpio trees, also sending a second round of pull requests for fixes to Torvalds for GPIO.
* Debated default-hogging of pinctrl handles. We NACKed the idea to use notifications to obtain hogs as it can't handle deferred probes properly, instead we will attempt to push this to the device driver core. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/pinctrl-notifyhog
* Probably finished the GPIO-range blueprint work, but need to switch the U300 over to this mechanism as a trial platform: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/pinctrl-gpiorange-makeov...
* Sent a patch set to move the Integrators over to the SoC bus (Lee's invention) when booting from device tree, and at the same time find a natural place to define system controller registers. This is meant as a good example of how to use the SoC bus.
* Had a final look at Synaptic's RMI4 patch set, I've reviewed all that I can, now it remains for Dmitry and Greg to review the final pieces of the architecture.
* Initial Integrator/IM-PD1 patches being cooked.
=== Plans ===
* Attack the remaining headers in arch/arm/mach-ux500 so we can move forward with multiplatform for v3.9 or so. (Make no promises, make no commitments...)
* 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
