=== Highlights ===

* Sent out v5 of the pin config patch series after some further discussion: as usual nVidia provide the most challenging feedback.

* Discussed pinmux maps proliferation with Arnd Bergmann and Haojian Zhuang (PXA pinmux maintainer) and came up with patches to address the issue of being able to tag pinmux maps as __initdata so they are discarded after boot. We also added the possibility to incrementally add several sets of pinmux mappings, doing away with the "once and for all" approach to registering maps.

* Discussed DT mappings to pin controllers with Stephen Warren and Tony Lindgren. No consensus reached.

* Ux500 mainlining since too little is happening: - AB8500 RTC patches iterated with Andrew Morton and accepted into his tree. - Fixed up patches for some movearound in the abx500 include headers directory. - Clean-up and forward-ported AB5500 high voltage LEDs driver. - The two latter will be sent off ASAP, just awaiting some optional internal feedback.

* Read and commented on a few patches on various mailing lists to keep uptodate.

=== Plans ===

* 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.

=== Issues ===

* Risk of pin controller subimplementations being delayed due to the time it takes to reach consensus. Would be good if the people who really need the pin config stuff got involved with the discussion and start ACK:ing patches when they like them, and tell me what I'm doing wrong and if they agree with the critics. Active participation in discussions would be appreciated. NOTE: I'm worthless in soft motivational-aspects of leadership (get people to actively do stuff). The only person I can motivate to discuss pin control is myself...

Thanks, Linus Walleij
