Some parts are going to be merged RSN, some parts are still in preparation to submission. A pile of patches can't be submitted because of backwards dependencies. Currently my patchset contains 54 patches. Now back to support of tosa in OE. I think I have several options: 0) linux-rp-2.6.23 contains support for the device. It has problems, but it's mostly working. So leave it just for now, don't touch 2.6.24 and wait for 2.6.25. I would prefer not to follow this path as I want to enlarge testing base for patchset and to let tosa-owners use decent kernel features. 1) Add all my patches on the top of linux-rp-2.6.24 as the tosa-specific part. This can be hard, as I touch various bits of kernel, this can require major efforts. 2) Just start linux-tosa recipe branch, importing few patches from linux-rp, and merge them later. No major pros et contras. What would you recommend? -- With best wishes Dmitry
