That's OK with me, as long as you can ensure that things build. > I had used all of Chaithrika's patches including architecture > part.

Yes, you have to merge the two together as Mauro's tree only has V4L2 related changes. All the other board/platform file changes are in DaVinci git and queued for linux-next that way. > For testing it is best to use the davinci tree as it is the latest and > greatest for davinci platforms. Yet, for testing some drivers that are going upstream via different trees, you will sometimes have to merge DaVinci git with another upstream tree for testing.
