Hi,

The first PR was against the linux-pm-next tree including the patch:

"cpuidle: Add Kconfig.arm and move calxeda, kirkwood and zynq"

This patch has been dropped in the meantime.

Here is a new PR where my tree has been rebased against linux-pm-next
and adding the patch mentioned above.

As stated by Rafael, I will handle the ARM specific patches from now.

The following changes since commit 48f99d5a97d32d70c0738d6e314d9f4dbefd89bf:

  Merge branch 'pm-cpuidle-next' into linux-next (2013-07-16 02:41:06 +0200)

Sorry, something distracted me.  I'll pull it later today unless there are any
problems (in which case I'll let you know).

Well, there are some.

It is based on my linux-next branch, but please rebase it on top of 3.11-rc2.

Generally, please send me pull requests based on -rc kernels only (or major
releases).

Unless your material depends on new things in my linux-next branch, in which
case please let me know and I'll set up a stable branch for you to base things
on.

Hi Rafael,

I rebased my branch on top of 3.11-rc2, you can try to pull it again.

I thought it would have been easier for us if I could based my PRs on
top of your linux-next branch, so acting as a proxy for ARM patches. I
am maintaining the clocksource drivers and I am basing my tree on top of
tip/core.

I guess you are rebasing your tree often and this is an issue for you,
right ?

Thanks

Pulled, thanks!

Next time, can you please add a general description of what the patches do and
why they do that to the pull request?

Yes, my linux-next branch may contain commits that will be modified later
(e.g. ACKs added, fixes folded in etc.).

Anyway, as I said, as long as the material you have for me doesn't depend on
anything new in my tree, it's better to base it on top of an -rc kernel.

In case it does depend on that, I've put the entire outstanding cpuidle
material into my pm-cpuidle branch (including your ARM commits just pulled).

Thanks,
Rafael

Yes, sure. I will do.

Hi Rafael,

is it possible to update the pm-cpuidle branch ? so I can base my pull

Kconfig.arm if I base my PR on v3.12-rc5.

Thanks

Updated, but you can base it on 3.12-rc5 if you need to.

Thanks!
