SubjectRe: [RFC] Initial OLPC Viafb merge

Thanks a lot for your work I appreciate it very much.
However there are 2 things I'd like to ask for:

Could you please forward port them to latest mainline? There went some
changes in for 2.6.34 that break some of your patches (but not many and
at least the first conflict is easy to fix) as I generally prefer to
test a version that does not contain too much changes from myself.

Please make checkpatch happy where appropriate. (whitespaces, ...)

Yeah, that's already a whole bunch of stuff. I agree that it's time to
get this in.

At least I'd like to see your work as early as possible so that we can
avoid conflicts (in patches and design). I hope this will get a bit
better after viafb is split up.
I don't have a strong opinion on the patch submission route as long as I
have the possibility to work on viafb and get some patches in as getting
to far ahead/away from mainline really sucks especially if one has not
all the hardware to test with. That said I'd be glad if we could
work/discuss the issues on these patches and get them in the next merge
window somehow.
Fortunately I still have a bit time left to finish the review of the
remaining patches in the next days but I would really appreciate it very
much if you could publish your work more frequently in the future.


Thanks,

Florian Tobias Schandinat
