I noticed that you are publishing an l2x0 branch now, in addition to the pm and smp branches that were already there the last time I looked, but you don't publish the gpio, io and debug branches that I have pulled into the arm-soc/next-soc branch because imx6 and highbank depend on them. Does that mean you don't consider the latter three branches stable yet, or does it just mean they are stable but you had no reason to publish them? Arnd
