== Linus Walleij linusw ==

=== Highlights ===

* Located and fixed a nasty ux500 iotable bug reported by Daniel Lezcano (PM) on linux-next: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=7233/1

* Located a clock drift problem on ux500 found by Daniel Lezcano (PM) as well. Thinking about a patch...

* Various pinctrl patches being applied and discussed among them dummy pinmuxes akin to dummy regulators, we need to see if this is a good idea or not.

* Blueprints and stuff updates with assitance from Mounir (thanks!) we're using pinctrl as some test case for the process, which is both fun and painful.

* Reviewed Samsung and Freescale and PXA pinctrl (mainly mux) implementations, it actually looks like these drivers will be mainly a smooth ride.

* Discussed DT mappings to pin controllers again, now Dong Aisheng is taking it a step further since he has a clear idea on how this should work and will write and document pinctrl bindings for Freescale, patches already exist for iMX.6 this is looking real good.

* Ux500 mainlining since too little is happening: - core ASIC patches and dropping prototype silicon patches sent out. - Helping our ALSA SoC authors to get started to get their stuff upstream, some problem with the usual - clocks, regulators, DMA, but it's looking OK.

* Helped Sjur Brændeland to get M7400 XSHM patches into linux-next and will help him to establish a k.org repository.

=== Plans ===

* Vacation 2011-12-19 thru 2012-01-06 Expect next report at the end of my first working week 2012-01-13.

* Drive generalization of Nomadik GPIO by using the pinctrl framework. drivers/gpio/gpio-nomadik.c

* 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 - the HWMON stuff. - DB8500 PRCMU updates

=== Issues ===

* Snowball/Igloo may need help with a USB issue, but I won't be in any capacity to help them :-(

Thanks, Linus Walleij
