From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: john.stultz@linaro.org (John Stultz) Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 20:57:35 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 0/4][RFC] Trivial ARM related Android patches Message-ID: <1292302659-1863-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org So after all the heat that was generated in the various Android discussions, I took a look a look at the android git tree, and while there are a fair number of large and controversial infrastructure changes, there are also a number of small fixes that apply easily against Linus' git tree. So after cherry picking these 50-some small patches out of the android tree, I organized them into topic branches, and over the next few weeks, I hope to send them out to lkml and topic maintainers for comments. Now, I'm not proposing that these changes be merged as-is. It may very well be that, unknown to me, android developers have already tried to submit these patches and they have been rejected for good reason. Or some patches may very well be necessary hacks to get thing shipping while deeper fixes are being worked on. If that is the case, let me know and forgive me for the noise. But as, it seemed many of these small changes have been obscured by the debate over the larger infrastructure changes, I wanted to bring them forward so that possibly good fixes were not missed in the controversy. Maintainers: If you do find any of these patches distasteful, that's fine, I'll be happy to drop them from my tree for now. I really don't want to stir up another huge mail thread over these small patches, but I'd appreciate if you'd consider them as a bug report illustrating an issue or a desired feature, and suggest what you see as a reasonable way to accomplish the desired functionality presented in the patch. The following patches are just the ARM related trivial patches from the Android tree.
