I won't be coming, sorry friends.

I will be happy to attend by wire if provided the necessary details.
pin control with mux basics is in -next and I am iterating next design
step with Stephen Warren from nVidia.

Since I'm not coming I don't know how relevant my opinions are.

But a topic which I think is important is:
"Subsystems! Subsystems! Subsystems!"
(Bonus if you get Greg to shout this dancing on stage.)

We have noticed a lack of subsystems such as pin control to
compartmentalize "stuff" currently stacking up in arch/arm/*
drivers/misc/* and drivers/mfd/*.

The problem of how to adress this the proper way by creating
new subsystems need to be shed some light upon, just telling
every subarch to "go create a new subsystem, it'll just take a
few man-years of your working hours" apparently does not always
work.

On a related key is the need to get the stuff in drivers/staging/iio
into drivers/ proper.

Just my ?0.01..

BR,
Linus Walleij
