DT changes do get merged through the arm DT tree separately. ARM has absurd tree proliferation, but I think in this case it actually makes sense. DT is the most common place I have merge conflicts when working on platform enabling across the steaming piles of subsystem trees out there, and keeping DT separate means that a merged -next tree can be built sanely. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
