Thanks to the heroic efforts of rsalveti the packaged

If you have a panda board and have time to try it out your feedback
would be much appreciated:
https://launchpad.net/~linaro-maintainers/+archive/kernel/+files/linux-image-2.6.38-1003-linaro-omap_2.6.38-1003.4~ppa2_armel.deb
This kernel should bring a lot of improvements for OMAP 4, like better
wlan, drm driver, hdmi audio and some other interesting fixes.
Is it built from Andy's TILT tree or Nico's upstream tree? If the
latter, then wow, how did TI get all this stuff upstreamable so soon?
I keep a branch called 'for-nicolas' which has had various incarnations
offering stuff to linux-linaro-2.6.38.
Panda HDMI Video and Audio support have been in for-nicolas (and in fact
in Ubuntu kernel taken from my tree) and working fine for some weeks,
the issue has been that until Ricardo's nice fixes this working Panda
support took a crap on OMAP3 video along the way, meaning integrating it
in npitre's common tree would be a step backwards for OMAP3 guys.
It's true I placed several fixup patches and other things in for-nicolas
which have now gone into npitre tree, but in fact there are other things
still in my tree and this alone doesn't bring linux-linaro-2.6.38 up to
TILT / Ubuntu kernel level. The two main things are:
- onboard twl6040 audio support, which has similar 'works fine but
urinates in the common pool' problems for integration
- BT support, which I have placed in for-nicolas to see how that goes down
BT may well be acceptable but I don't think we solve twl6040 audio
integration and there is meant to be (since Feb) a competing mainline
version coming anyway via Liam Girdwood.
There's also FM Radio support, but actually on current Panda boards that
is not really usable due to problems with antenna arrangements in
hardware; but I guess they fix this in later boards.
I also have SGX 4403 integrated now but currently it won't work on
Android or Ubuntu builds for unknown and probably unrelated reasons;
that code is a right mess as it stands and certainly itself won't be
headed upstream.
BTW I have a branch that is the additional TILT stuff on top of John
Stultz's Android tree and tracking that
