I am quite blue to git/kernel/versioning and in my optimism I underestimated the complexity of versioning and patching. I guess therefore I did not understand the answer of Wolfgang totally. Do I understand correct that: Xenomai support for iMX35 depends fully on the developers of Freescale to put their patches into the mainline kernel? Is there a way to be involved/contribute on that?
