Hi Lee, Great! Thanks a lot. It looks like the communication between linaro and mainline is that linaro can backport some bug fixes and features from mainline to linaro tree. Linaro doesn't help to review patches and send to mainline. Then I have two more questions 1. is there a detailed list of backport and bug fix in linaro kernel tree since those are the difference between mainline and linaro tree? 2. will linaro accept patches from non-member companies and help to maintain, I mean a SoC company which doesn't join linaro?
