== Linus Walleij linusw ==

=== Highlights ===

* Maturing pinctrl core and pinmux in linux-next, answering late review comments and merging smaller patches.

* Arnd pulled the last ux500 stuff (timers) for the merge window.

* Found the problem with attached device trees on my platforms. Root cause: mismatched "compatible" node hangs kernel 3.1+ at an early stage, with an error message on the earlyprintk console. If you don't have a working earlyprintk the stuff locks up, and this non-visibility of early errors had us stuck for a while.

* Reviewed various stuff. (pinctrl, MMC, new platform called SPMP8000).

=== Plans ===

* Let pin control core and pinmux mature in -next and I expect to issue a pull request to Torvalds in the coming merge window

* Start working on generic pin control: - Biasing - Driving - Input modes - Load capacitance First step - survey of existing configuration options for currens SoC:s.

* Test the PL08x patches on the Ericsson Research PB11MPCore and submit platform data for using pl08x DMA on that platform.

* Drive generalization of U300 and Nomadik GPIO by using the pinctrl framework

* Watch the DBx500 PRCMU drivers update, fixed patches for Sam, but don't know if he's pleased with them yet.

* Mainline some ux500 U-Boot stuff so it can atleast boot the system.

=== Issues ===

* The formation of the clk subsystem seems pretty much tangled up in details right now, don't know what to do about it though :-(

Thanks, Linus Walleij
