Yes, I'll update that probably next week so we'll be ready well
ahead.

I agree. If we have conflicting patches, it may cause some delays
getting the big patch set applied. I just marked the previous core
omap patches as superceded.

Does anybody have bug fixes that should go to mainline before
the big merge? If there aren't any urgent ones, I suggest we
wait for 2.6.20 to make the big merge easier.

I've scheduled some time for this and the patch queue is now pretty
easy to update. Also I've scripted out some parts :) So I think we're
in good shape for sending out the core omap patches.

Where people can help is picking an individual driver subsystem to
clean up for sending it upstream.

Imre will be sending out the framebuffer patches when he has a chance.
But at least sound and v4l driver code should be cleaned up and
sent upstream.

Anybody interested in working on merging audio and/or v4l?

Regards,

Tony
