I'd be tempted to merge that since it's documentation-only, and I like to see such stuff merged ASAP. But otherwise it's non-essential. > spi-use-mutex-not-semaphore.patch Non-essential. > spi-simplify-spi_sync-calling-convention.patch > spi-use-simplified-spi_sync-calling-convention.patch The first one fixes some minor bugs, so would be good to merge.

Bryan says they're highly interdependent, and they also include quite a number of bugfixes (some "critical") that have been used in Analog's treee for many months now. That makes sense to me, since they've been bouncing around for quite a while now. I'd be OK with merging all of them; if something breaks, it'd be no worse than the current state (and would only affect Blackfin). > atmel_spi-throughput-improvement.patch > atmel_spi-chain-dma-transfers.patch > atmel_spi-fix-dmachain-oops-with-debug-enabled.patch Those can wait; they're performance updates. > queued for 2.6.25. If some of them need to be bumped up to 2.6.24: which > ones and why? I'd say all those Blackfin patches should go, and the one calling convention patch, are appropriate as bugfixes. And the doc patch, unless there's a reason to hold it back. - Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
