Hi Roland,

The patch look all good, but it's not clear where you would like to
see them applied. The largest one "ARM: LPC32xx: Fix missing and bad
LPC32XX macros" looks like it is only of cosmetic nature and should
go into the next/fixes-non-critical branch for v3.4, while the
others look like they are requried for v3.3, some of them
also for earlier versions. Remember that any bug fix that applies
to older kernels should have a "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" tag
so that Greg can automatically pick up the fixes and port them
to the stable and longterm releases.

Hi Arnd and Wolfram,

thanks for your notes!

Right. I replaced the mentioned branch with

* lpc32xx/fixes-non-critical (singled out the macros fixes, for next)
* lpc32xx/fixes (the remaining 5 patches as immediate fixes)

Please note that although it's a typo fix in the macros, it's also an
internal API change.

I also added the stable-CC to the "lpc32xx/fixes" and added the note
about NXP's HW bugfix as suggested by Wolfram.

I'll regenerate the pull request. Please tell me if you also like to
have the patches re-posted.

Thanks in advance,

Roland

I would not regard that patch any different because it changes
symbol names in the header file: The kernel internal API has absolutely
no relevance and can be changed in any (helpful) way as long as you
change all the in-kernel users at the same time.

Ok, thanks a lot! There is no need to resend the patches, since they
have not changed.

Applied to "fixes" branch.

Thanks,

Ok, pulled into next/fixes-non-critical now. Thanks,
