== Linus Walleij linusw ==

=== Highlights ===

* Finally sent out a patch for SPARSE_IRQ on the Nomadik
  and ux500. Sadly it seems that to get a kernel that isn't screaming
  at you, transitioning to sparse IRQ can not be done unless you
  move over to irqdomains, all dynamic IRQ numbers and device
  tree at the same time. This puzzled me for a long time.

* Started to drill into a RCU lockup regression that is still in the
  v3.6-rc series, but I'm uncertain if it only affects ux500 or if
  it's a generic problem. John Stultz has seen the same message.

* Helped Benjamin with pre-review of a patch to genalloc.

* First review of Lee's patch set for HREF/MOP500 device tree
  support for the parts that I understand.

* Fixed a smallish regression on the ks8695 watchdog that
  came as fallout from the timer patches.

* Reviewed and merged various GPIO patches.

* Reviewed and merged various pinctrl patches. Currently
  the Marvell patch set is taking up a lot of bandwidth but
  starting to look really nice.

* Attended an internal workshop on kernel architecture that
  stole away some three working days or so, but hey, we get
  to influence the ST-Ericsson internal kernel.

=== Plans ===

* Ongoing work on sparse IRQ for Nomadik and Ux500.

* 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...
  using an internal tracking sheet for this.

* Look into regmap. Try something out, get to know it.

=== Issues ===

* N/A

Thanks,
Linus Walleij
