== Linus Walleij linusw ==

=== Highlights ===

* Collected and prepared a set of pinctrl fixes and sent pull request to Torvalds. He pulled them in.

* Collected and prepared a set of GPIO fixes and sent pull request to Torvalds. He pulled them in.

* Continued to apply DMA40 patches from Lee on a specific DMA40 branch targeted for ARM SoC. Prepared a first pull request with the first set of Lee's patches after Vinod and Herbert ACKed them.

* Reviewed lots of pinctrl code, and some GPIO code.

* Prepared and sent a clocks-to-devicetree patch set for the U300. (Tying up the sack on U300.) This is now under review.

* Sent a pull request for the queued patches to move Nomadik to use device tree for the clocks.

* Fixed ethernet to work in Nomadik S8815.

* Poked around with Nomadik S8815 user LED, and user key using the standard GPIO bindings.

* Converted Nomadik to use DT for pin control.

* Asked for a NHK15 board to fix the support for this board as well.

* Being pleased with Lee & Fabio taking on ever more complex tasks and doing a good job overall for ux500.

=== Plans ===

* Finalize U300 DT+multiplatform patch set. Maybe send a partial pull request with the stuff I have.

* Integrate Integrator PCI patch set, then start to delete board files and convert to multiplatform.

* 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.

* Get hands dirty with regmap.

=== Issues ===

* Subsystem maintainers in the kernel community are forced to act as standardization comittee for device tree bindings due to lack of review power. As they have to merge the bindings in the end, reviewing fall upward to the subsystem maintainers, this is something of a workload issue.

* Need a PCI branch at ARM SoC to request Integrator PCI DT patches to be pulled into. (Still blocked on this for Integrator single zImage.)

* Some impediments from internal turmoil @ST-Ericsson.

Thanks, Linus Walleij
