One request though: Let's do the clean-up patches in two phases, one series that applies against the mainline kernel, then additional patches for linux-omap. Otherwise we'll never get out of this merge hell. BTW, we should try to do the same for anything that we can already patch in the mainline kernel. Regards, Tony
