Pretty much, unless you are fixing an important bug and then you work
on the latest Linus tree.

Yes. Those are all outdated.

Btw, one constant problem that we have had in kernel janitors is that
the TODO list gets outdated. I have started tagging my emails if I want
to record something in a TODO list.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/184
http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/ksummit-discuss/2014-May/000690.html
I can do a: `grepmail ^TODO-list inbox` to see my todo list. Anyone
can add stuff to it.
Eventually, I'm hoping someone will put the TODO list on a webpage, but
for now if you want to subscribe to driver-devel then that's where there
are the most TODO items.
regards,
dan carpenter
