You can also move to the linux-linaro-2.6.36 too. It is an hibrid of the latest ARM stuff from 2.6.37-rc1 (actually most of the latest ARM stuff was itself based on a pre-2.6.36 tree so that's easy) but with the core kernel code unchanged for stability. But for upstream submission you will still have to base your branches onto well-known stable upstream branches. And FYI Russell's tree, especially the "devel" branch, is _not_ such a stable branch. Don't ever attempt a pull request based on his devel branch. > Now we only need to mainline a few thousand patches > of platform support :-) Heh, that's no problem. When properly reviewed, you can put them all in a branch that you can ask RMK to pull. No need to stuff them all in his patch tracking system then, especially if they don't touch any of the core ARM code. The biggest problem is usually to make those few thousand patches in good shape.
