Please don't use those branches for basing patches unless specifically
agreed on.

No please don't. Arnd will merge things into those branches to build
his topic specif branches for merging. Always use mainline Linux tags
where possible, or static branches in linux-omap tree that have been
specifically pointed out.

We want to keep dependencies to other trees minimal as they may pull
in other patches too. It also makes it harder to keep track of the
the omap specific code, and makes it harder to do topic specific pull
requests easily.

For example, most patches done against current devel-board should
merge fine with everything else.
