Hi Arnd, Olof,

Can you please the following SoC updates for DaVinci.
The branch depends on (and merges) an immutable branch
from Ohad adding DA8XX rempote proc driver.

Thanks,
Sekhar

The following changes since commit a0e5cda94cf0fab47a9bc87c50bce7f5cd26acda:

  Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ohad/remoteproc into v3.10/soc (2013-04-15 14:37:45 +0530)

  ARM: davinci: ensure global variables are declared (2013-04-15 15:13:13 +0530)

----------------------------------------------------------------
v3.10 SoC updates for DaVinci

This set of patches add support for remoteproc
used to control the DSP and also fix sparse
errors existing for quite some time.

Hi,

Where is this branch from? Git URL and branch name, please -- we prefer to pull
these in as separate branches under depends/* as well to document it.

Here is the repo and branch:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ohad/remoteproc.git for-next

Thanks,

Oh! Looking at that branch, and the new branch from you, I don't actually see
a dependency between them. Sure, the Davinci mach-side code registers a new
device, but until the driver has the corresponding changes, there's no breakage
caused by the new registration. There are no new data structures introduced
either, so there's no build-time dependency added.

So it would be just as easy to just merge this as a nondependent branch. When
both sides of the change land, remoteproc will work. But until then, nothing
existing will be broken.

Sound ok? If so, please just rebase your 4 patches on top of the old SoC branch
without the dependency and send a fresh pull request, please. :)

That's right! I can swear there was some platform data that the driver
needed at some stage which caused the dependency. Whatever that was, its
gone now (and I failed to notice it) so there is no real need of merging
the remoteproc branch.

Okay, I will rebase and send updated pull request. I will have to update
the board support pull request too.

Thanks,
