== Linus Walleij linusw ==
=== Highlights ===
* Working on AB8500 GPIO as it is a roadblock for the multiplatform, as it is a SPARSE_IRQ regression. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/ab8500-gpio-shapeup
* Iterated the pinctrl device core pin grabbing: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/pinctrl-corehog http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135879594515932&w=2
* Concluded that the reported errors with device tree and sparse IRQ were due to regression fixes not being merged to the MFD tree. See below on issues.
* Looked over some pending GPIO and pinctrl patch queue.
* Advanced Nomadik (mach-nomadik) device tree patch set.
* Pushed a patch to U-Boot enabling device tree on the Integrator.
=== Plans ===
* First fix the AB8500 GPIO mess.
* Attack the remaining headers in arch/arm/mach-ux500 so we can move forward with multiplatform for v3.9.
* Convert Nomadik pinctrl driver to register GPIO ranges from the gpiochip side.
* 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.
* Get hands dirty with regmap.
=== Issues ===
* Not getting response from the MTD maintainer. Filed two regressions, one of them before christmas (!) http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135880464619562&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=135820251519490&w=2 Don't know what to do. Shall I send the patches to Torvalds directly or what...
Thanks, Linus Walleij
