I belive the last set where either being posted just-before or during the last merge window. We already had far too much queueud up then and we where trying to ensure that the already-queued entries where processed. The last call for updates went out on 13th May, and the two machine patches actually turned up on the 30th of May... It is important that we get these merges ready at least a week in advance of the merge window, otherwise there is _no_ time time to test the merged trees, and even worse there is little time to correct any mistakes... there where I belive two merge problems with trying to rebuild trees at the last minute ready to send to Linus. Unfortunately the S5PC100 moves did get overlooked (I think I may ended up dropping off the samsung-soc list) and the ended up producing a lot of the work involved in generating the pull request to RMK and then Linus. (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.samsung-soc/1427) If we can organise ourselves better (and Kukjin will be taking over some of this work) then maybe we will have a much better experience for the next time. > > > >> Thank you, > >> Kyungmin Park > >> > >> On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 8:53 AM, Kyungmin Park wrote: > >> > Hi ben, > >> > > >> > There's some pending patches for s5pc110. > >> > 1. aquila & goni support files. > > > > these two should have gone in already > > I mean more aquila & goni patches. not basic support. e.g. OneNAND > support, FB support and so on.

Me, no.

Of course > with proper feedback. I think we answer your question doesn't it? The fb system is currently without a propler maintainer and Andrew Morton has been doing the job of applying patches. I don't know the reasons for the last round of development not going in, but it was probably due to it being too late.. I've so far been unable to actually subscribe to the new fb list to try and sort it out. This however doesn't cover the fact that there's been no movement on dicsussing what is needed to support FIMC addition to the framebuffer driver. Do you have even a list of things that you think are needed for this, or any actual patches we could look at and discuss? -- Ben Q: What's a light-year? A: One-third less calories than a regular year.
