> The 'merge' branch is a merge of several other branches, currently
>  gta04 i2c bq27000 twl4030-irq power
> some of which are tidier than others.
> Also visible at

> usable I'll turn a lot of those off.

> This is largely based on David's 3.1 based kernel.  I haven't added

> not in there - just fixed things and removed cruft.  e.g. I'm using the
> mainline twl4030_charger rather than the older twl4030_bci_charger.
> 
> I plan to regularly rebase all these branches on current mainline, so they

> more useful for fetching that pulling into a working tree.  I really hope

> feed a lot of things upstream as soon as they are ready.  bq27000 and
> twl4030-irq are the only bits that are ready at the moment.

> The next big thing I want to work on is proper integration of the LED
> controller - with the 'wlan reset' line looking like a GPIO output rather
> than an LED :-)
> 
> But there are bugs I really want to fix too:
> 
>  - omap2430.c registers a blocking notifier on an atomic notifier call
> chain
>  - something causes 'udevadm settle' to block for up to a minute at boot.
>    It is very variable and may be related to reading the bq27000 battery
>    status
>  - find out why reading battery status is sometimes slow and either fix or
>    hide the slowness.
>  - I don't think the battery charger is charging the backup battery (for
> RTC).
>  - Battery charging doesn't start until I plug in the USB cable.  i.e. if
> I
>    boot with USB plugged in, I have to unplug and replug before charging
>    works.
>  - power-down doesn't - e.g. "halt -f -n -p" doesn't actually shut down.
>  - "echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger"  reboots, but USB networking doesn't
> work
>    again.  Strangely "reboot -f -n" does end up with USB networking
>    working again.
>  - despite setting a host MAC address for usb networking it very
> occasionally
>    used a random MAC address of the host.
