How close is arndale support to being > upstream/mainline? The wiki page point to a linux 3.7 whit linaro patches and xen patches. It's seems the Arndale support is nearly completed on 3.9. It's a matter of about ten patches. I would prefer to stick on linaro tree to avoid to maintain our own Linux Arndale tree. We can switch to a linux upstream once the Arndale is fully supported. -- Julien
