Hi -
Thanks to the work of Angus and Tushar a second Landing Team has
established a tracking tree, for Samsung Origen. They're using the same
lt-tools management scripts I use to handle the various trees in TI
Landing Team.
As I mentioned in the talk I gave at Connect about lt-tools, the fact
that we're both tracking near Linus HEAD allows us to casually combine
the trees for the first time if we can arrange for our basis to be
relatively close.
Today with the help of Angus and Tushar I gave that a try and -->
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=landing-teams/working/ti/kernel.git;a=shortl…
this single tree builds current Landing Team tracking for both Panda
(omap4_defconfig) and Origen (origen_defconfig), we confirmed the
results work as expected. Its common basis is Linus HEAD from yesterday.
Actually, the two trees did not tread on each others' toes at all, the
rebase proceeded with zero conflicts. Angus mentioned that there are
still some topics to come on his side; maybe they can create conflicts
in the future. Panda tracking got battered by upstream stuff post-3.1
we're still working to clear but it's still workable for this test
purpose anyway since it includes all the code footprint.
So we should be able to make ongoing combined tracking releases, and if
that continues to work smoothly it will naturally lead to a combined 3.2
release tree. Since we'll both be using the same
linaro-androidization-tracking on these trees to create Android kernels,
a single unified Android kernel should be possible to generate
automatically from the unified vanilla one and I'll look at starting
that after Panda tracking is in better shape.

Apologies all for the late report -- I wrote this last week, but I
just found it sitting in my drafts folder. It doesn't look like I
ever sent it.
I will try to avoid that next time...

* Review Pawel Moll's multi coretile support updates: DONE
=== Absences ===
(none planned)
== Niklas Hernaeus <nhe> ==
=== General activity ===
* Uart works for dt, but not quite as it is supposed to. Need to add dt
to a
general uart file.
* Preparing DT report for Knowledge sharing session. 40% done.
* Presented Linaro Connect report for STE Competence group.
=== Plans ===
* Make detailed plans for the work items.
* Make the dt uarts work as it is supposed to.
* Start work on dt i2c.
* Also, MMC must be included in the blueprints, somewhere at the top,
below i2c.

=== Device Tree ===
* Reviewed Grant's clock DT binding series
* Converted imx6 clock code to Mike's pre-v3 common-clk series and
device tree binding. (a big RFC patch)
* Suggested change '#clock-cells' design to make the users a little
bit easier
=== Consolidation and cleanup ===
* Tested rmk's restart work for mxs
* Tested Sascha's mx5-merge series on imx6q, imx53 and imx51. With
this series, we can build single zImage for imx3, imx5 and imx6.
=== Misc ===
* Collected fixing patches for imx6 and mxs, and sent them to Arnd
for next -rc.
=== Plan ===
* Post mc13892 regulator DT patches based on Rajendra's series v5

* Working on device tree support for i2s driver.
=== Plans ===
* Complete the device tree support for i2s driver.
=== Misc ===
* Leave on 18th (Friday) and 21st (Monday) November.
== Venkatraman S (svenkatr) ==
Was off partly due to TI internal activities.
== Highlights ==
* Understand requirements for eMMC4.5 implementation - studying specifications
* Review patches on Packed CMD implementation on mmc mailing list
* Testing of patches for preventing merges across erase block sizes
for low-end flash devices
== Plans ==
* Test and post patches for the above activity
* Continue study of eMMC4.5 features and UFS
Regards,

Was out sick weds, so not a super productive week.
=== Highlights ===
* Added EARLYSUSPEND to linaro+android defconfigs
* Made final 11.11 linaro+android release
* After being nudged by Thomas, sent out first draft of a large patchset
reworking some of the timekeeping locking.
* Reviewed and acked sched_clock overflow fix.
* Helped with Android Image testing for 11.11 release
* Submitted config fragment management script to akpm and it was
included into the -mm tree.
* Revised madvise volatile patchset a few times preping for lkml
discussion. Got some good feedback that made me think it would be better
to rework the patch to use fadvise instead of madvise. Started efforts
to convert the interface over.
=== Plans ===
* Finish madvise->fadvise conversion, do one last cleanup and send to
lkml.
* Take another pass at the timekeeping locking for Thomas.
* Push queued patches for 3.3 to Thomas.
=== Issues ===
* None
