Subject: Add openrisc for-next branch to linux-next

Hi Stephen,

I have been working on getting the OpenRISC backlog of fixes sorted out
for upstream. Can this branch be added to linux-next?

git://github.com/openrisc/linux.git for-next

These have been through a few reviews and we plan to ask Linus to pull in
the next merge window.

Hi,

I see that you have updated MAINTAINERS. Good.

Does openRISC support VGA console?
I tried to send a patch to Jason a few days ago.
Please look at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147968525011508&w=2
(or I can resend it if you wish).

The kbuild test bot has been reporting this build error for several
months. If my fix is wrong, please submit something else.

Thanks.

Added from today.

Just a note: your top commits has no Signed-off-by from you as the committer ...

Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next. As
you may know, this is not a judgement of your code. The purpose of
linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of
conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window.

You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have
been:
* submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's
Signed-off-by,
* posted to the relevant mailing list,
* reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
* successfully unit tested, and
* destined for the current or next Linux merge window.

Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him
to fetch). It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.

Hi Randy,

I was watching that thread, I honestly thought it would have been pulled
in by one of the console maintainers.

Openrisc does not have support for vga console, some people may have
hacked something together, but its not in our kernel yet. So I have no
issue disabling it in the build.

I will pull it in to my branch.

If someone else pulls,

Hello,

Right I had been adding those as part of the `git send-email` phase but I
realize I do need them in git now. Sorry about that.
