Hi Sascha!
I have a question: I have to push my work on mach-mx31_3ds machine
but the entire work need some drivers that are present now in linux-next
but not in mxc-master.. I have to wait the next merge window or I can push
the complete mx31_3ds sequence to you adding (or referencing) the dependencies?

Best Regards!

Experience showed that compile breakages even temporary are a pain. You
have two possibilities: Either ifdef the code which is causes the
breakage with #ifdef MXC_KEYPAD (or whatever the correct symbol is) so
that the ifdef automaticalle comes true when the driver is there or
just wait until the driver code is merged. So far Russell didn't
complain when the board code for new drivers is merged in -rc1 time. I
prefer the second solution. Just give me a ping when the drivers hit
mainline.

Regards,
  Sascha
