SPI, GPIO, and DT maintainer ship (cry for help)

[Grant Likely]

Hi Wolfram, Rob & Linus W.

I believe all three of you know that I'm in the process of moving to
Scotland. The house is on the market and we have flights booked for
the end of July.

The problem is that the move is becoming so much work that I barely
have time to sit down with the computer, let alone handle patches. It
probably isn't going to get any better either until the kids are
settled in their new school (mid August).  I need help to prepare for
the next merge window, and quite possibly the next window.  Since you
three have agreed to co-maintain those subsystems with me, can you
please take a look at the patches that have been posted, pick up the
ones that look ready to go to you, and get them into linux-next?  I
may even need you to send pull requests to Linus when the window opens
if I'm still under water.

Also, if you have any bug fixes that need to go into v3.5, go ahead
and send them on to Linus directly (Rob, I think I saw a pull request
from you).

Things will definitely be better after the move is finished and
ksummit/plumbers is over.  Until then, thanks in advance for anything
you can do to help with the load.

g.

No problem. I am going on vacation the last part of July, but should be
online off and on. There hasn't been too much that needs to be merged
thru DT tree. I have been queuing up a few things, but hadn't yet
replied on them as my last pull request hadn't been pulled.

Yes, will do.

See you in San Diego and good luck with the move.

OK I'll see what I can do, sadly I'm a bit swamped too and will be
on vacation but I'll try.

That's news to me. Good luck!

Though I'd like to help out, I need to pass on this time. My resources
simply won't allow to do the job (with the quality I envision, that is).
I hope somebody else can jump in? If not, I can collect urgent patches,
at least.

Regards,

   Wolfram

I could probably help out with SPI if that's useful (GPIO seems already
covered by Linus W)?
