Daniel, Unfortunately too late for 3.11 indeed, so this is 3.12 material at this point. Given that the merge window just opened, most maintainers will be too busy to look at much new patches at this time as well. Can I ask you to do a few things though? 1) Please post the drivers/clk patches to mturquette. THey don't look dependent on the rest of the patches, just general improvements and cleanups. 2) I really wish there was a generic catch-all compat for the boards, so we didn't have to modify mmp2-dt.c for every new board added -- it really defies the purpose of only changing the data you pass into the kernel. This is mostly something for Eric/Haojian to sort out though. 3) Please post the patches as a series instead of a pull request, given that they should probably take different paths up the tree (clk vs the platform, etc). You should at least get review/acked-by of the clk pieces from Mike Turquette. Beyond that I didn't look all that closely at the patches yet. -Olof

I have already posted the patches as emails a little more than 2 weeks ago, including sending the clock ones to Mike. I will resend next week if they are still pending, when the maintainers might be a bit less busy. cheers Daniel

When this happens I usually email the patch author privately and let them know that I will take a look after the merge window but I forgot to send you that email. Regards, Mike > > cheers > Daniel
