== Rajendra Nayak <rnayak> ==
=== Highlights ===
* Worked on patches to make OMAP transition to common clk one
SoC family at a time and also maintaining git-bisect. Turned
out much ugly than I initially thought. Shared the patches along
with a few minor fixes with Mike.
* Started working on optimizing (reducing) OMAP4 common clk data
on top of Mikes' initial work. Mostly done manual cleanups for now.
Need to update the autogen scripts.
* Started validating OMAP5 common clk using Mikes' framework changes
and autogen updates.
=== Plans ===
* Autogen updates for OMAP4 data, OMAP5 validation and fixes to
framework changes.
=== Misc ===
* Planning to take off on 2,9,10 April due to some personal
emergency travel.
=== Highlights ===
* Sent out last bits of timekeeping changes for 3.4 & got them merged.
* Spent a bit of time re-installing & reconfiguring my system
environment per new internal policies:
http://www.codinghorror.com/.a/6a0120a85dcdae970b016301e98de2970d-800wi
* Sent out first pass at config fragment integration into the linaro
kernel. Got some good feedback & patches from Tixy and Tushar.
* Ran Android Subteam phone meeting & set up recurring phone meeting
biweekly.
* Reviewed Danial Walkers performance comparision between shm based and
android logger based logging. Got into a longish discussion off-list
discussion with him about Android's design requirements. Hopefully will
see another iteration from Daniel.
* At Tixy's prodding, contacted Dima to see about the earlysuspend
removal in 3.3 and what fixes for the log flooding that caused are
recommended. Got a quick response that they have a fix, and are looking
to push it out soon. Tixy suggested a fix in the meantime.
* Did a first pass fwd port of the Android 3.3 patch stack to 3.4.
Messed up some of the mmc items and will likely have to try again.
* Got a first pass at reworking the fadvise volatile code to store tree
roots in a hash rather then bloat the address_space structure. It seems
to be working, but I kind of don't believe it.
=== Plans ===
* More testing on fadvise volatile hash rework & send to lkml
* Get all of Tushar's changes merged into the config fragment tree
* Take another shot at fwd porting the Android tree to 3.4
=== Issues ===
* NA
== Arnd Bergmann ==
=== Highlights ===
* Merge window, part two: everything we had queued is now in mainline
* Discussed swap on flash with a few people, sent out first proposal
* Continued DT discussion for spear, kirkwood, shmobile
=== Plans ===
* more review for DT conversions
* regression testing post merge window
* getting my build server back running
* dig out my CONFIG_NO_IOPORT patch set and get that into linux-next
== Venkatraman S svenkatr ==
== Highlights ==
* Sent out pull request for UFS and eMMC features for Linaro Kernel release
* Coding up eMMC foreground HPI code. Sent a rough first cut to Storage folks.
* Studies UFS implementation. Plan to abstract out the PCI specific
part of driver files
== Plans ==
* More HPI coding and do some stress tests
* Test eMMC Power off notify with OMAP.
== Misc ==
* Was on leave for 2 days
== Linus Walleij linusw ==
=== Highlights ===
* Applied and pushed the DT patch from Stephen, effectively making
it possible to create DT- based pinctrl drivers in the 3.5 release cycle
for the kernel.
* Attended the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose and had
a "platform perimeter" seminar, paper and slides available here:
http://www.df.lth.se/~triad/papers/ESC-400Paper_Walleij.pdfhttp://www.df.lth.se/~triad/papers/ESC-400Slides_Walleij.pdf
Apart from running the seminar I count this as education and
competence building
=== Plans ===
* Easter vacation april 2-5th.
expect next report on april 13th
* Review incoming pinctrl patches.
* Prepare to convert ux500 (gpio-nomadik) to pinctrl
for the kernel 3.5 timeframe.
* Attending the Embedded Systems Conference in
San Jose 27th thru 30th of march.
* Test the U9540 core patches on real hardware and
rework as outlined by Arnd.
* 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
- Ux500 clocks
- the HWMON stuff.
=== Issues ===
* N/A

Greetings,
The Linaro Kernel Working Group (KWG) and the Linaro Platform
Group are excited to announce the availability our March 2012
development snapshot:
linux-linaro-3.3-2012.03-2
As the word "snapshot" implies, these are meant as development kernels
and have not been fully validated. You should expect issues and to help
us deliver a better kernel in the future, please file bugs in Launchpad at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux-linaro.
The source tarball is available at:
https://launchpad.net/linux-linaro/devtrack/12.03/+download/linux-linaro-3.…
The kernel sources can also be accessed using git at:
git://git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-tracking.git
tag: linux-linaro-3.3-2012.03-2
This kernel includes the following changes from the 2012.02 kernel:
- Update to 3.3
- Various patches from Linaro
* Versatile Express patches from ARM LT
* Gator module for ARM's Streamline Performance Ananlyzer from ARM LT
* updated irq_domain patch set from Grant L.
* cpuidle core consolidation, cpuidle support for i.MX5/6 and ST-E
u8500 from PM WG
* updated patch set support for common save and restore code to the
Samsung exynos platform from PM WG
* updated thermal_cpu_cooling patch set from the power management WG
* UFS patches from kernel WG
* eMMC4.5 patches from kernel WG
* initial dma-buf patch set and some related components for UMM
- AOSP 3.3 android patch set
A full change log against the 3.3 release is available at:
https://launchpad.net/linux-linaro/devtrack/12.03
High Priority Known Issues:
- ANDROID_RAM_CONSOLE must be disabled for the android kernel to boot.
=== Highlights ===
* Merge window, preparing and sending pull requests
* Some coaching of DT ports (spear, kirkwood, lpc3xxx)
=== Plans for this week ===
* Second half of merge window
=== Highlights ===
* Converting imx6 clock code to common clk. (80% done with the non-dt
part)
* Reviewed imx_v4_v5 common clk series from Sascha
* Reviewed and acked Saravana's patch moving init fields from clk to
clk_hw
* Suggested Mike change clk API a bit to have parent rate passed into
.round_rate and .set_rate, and he acked it.
* Tested imx6 anatop regulator patch from Paul and report some little
problem. Have to wait for solving the it before I can merge the
imx6q dts change.
* Reviewed snvs-rtc patch from Paul. It's far away from the good
state.

== Linus Walleij linusw ==
=== Highlights ===
* Sent a pull request for pinctrl.
Torvalds pulled in the patch queue for kernel 3.4
and even quipped about it, as pointed out to me by Nico,
see commit 7fc86a7908a4e9eb2da4b6498f86193d113842d3:
(*) What is it with all these Linuses these days? There's a Linus at
google too. Some day I will get myself my own broadsword, and run
around screaming "There can be only one".
I used to be _special_ dammit. Snif.
* Fixed up my own screwups trying to stabilize the PL011
serial driver. Extracted another PL011 patch from inside
ST-Ericsson.
* Looked at some regulator patches.
* DT patches for pinctrl are floated by Stephen on the LKML.
=== Plans ===
* Review incoming pinctrl patches.
* Prepare to convert ux500 (gpio-nomadik) to pinctrl
for the kernel 3.5 timeframe.
* Attending the Embedded Systems Conference in
San Jose 27th thru 30th of march.
* Easter vacation april 2-5th.
* Test the U9540 core patches on real hardware and
rework as outlined by Arnd.

- the HWMON stuff.
=== Issues ===
* Git real ill middle of last week so things got to a standstill
and not much happened. Unplanned absence.
Still recovering somewhat.
Thanks,
Linus Walleij
