== Linus Walleij linusw ==

=== Highlights ===

* Wrote a patch series bringing runtime PM of pins into the device core. Greg and Mark ACKed it immediately so I have it queued in the pinctrl tree now. Kevin and I continue to discuss runtime PM implications and whether we can centralize it even more. This basically have activated this long-dormant blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/runtimepm-pinctrl (WG leads: please approve this blueprint.)

* Olof J pulled my ux500-fixes branch to ARM SoC.

* Applied and queued various ux500 patches, collected ACKs and sent five (5) pull requests for the following branches on ux500:

ux500-core ux500-clocksource ux500-pinctrl ux500-dma40 ux500-devicetree

I also have a ux500-defconfig branch, that will be submitted later, turning on this and some more new stuff that will hit the v3.11 merge window.

* Sent a pull request for the Integrator PCI DT patch series to ARM SoC.

* Reviewed lots of pinctrl code. Qeueued some pinctrl patches at least. A lot of the discussion revolves around generic DT bindings for generic pin config.

* Put my nose into some submarine-type review of new platforms like the Rockchip and HiSilicon.

=== Plans ===

* Finalize U300 DT+multiplatform patch set and send a pull request for it. Utilizing the syscon MFD driver this means I will actually look at regmap now!

* Start to delete Integrator board files and convert to multiplatform once the PCI DT patches land in ARM SoC.

* 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.

=== Issues ===

* Subsystem maintainers in the kernel community are acting like Judge Dredd on DT review and commit issues, as noted last week.

* Some impediments from internal turmoil @ST-Ericsson.

Thanks, Linus Walleij
