I also have some pending serial changes for Linus, but haven't received any "it works" "it doesn't work" reports back so I'm not happy to push this during the -rc phase. PCMCIA wise, I want to dump a couple of Dominik's earlier patches in which start moving code around to separate the core PCMCIA/Cardbus code from the PCMCIA specific "card services" code. See http://pcmcia.arm.linux.org.uk/ for details on this. I want patch series 14 to be merged into Linus' tree separately from 15 and 16 so that if someone finds a problem down the line, it's easy to isolate it between the changes. Note that I _still_ haven't heard back from the guy who reported a deadlock with current kernels, so I'm unsure about merging the validatemem patch. I really want to do this before series 15 and 16. I'll probably decide to take the approach of just applying the proposed fix without having it tested in the reported scenario and hope for the best... Once patch series 14, 15 and 16 are in, driver model stuff seems to be the next thing on the cards for PCMCIA. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 PCMCIA - http://pcmcia.arm.linux.org.uk/ 2.6 Serial core - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
