Yes, that would be fine!

The latest one is currently here:

	http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/3.15-rc0

Unfortunately it locks up the kernel with the OMAP_HDQ driver (we did
already ask LKML for help) which must be deconfigured first.

I think i should now update the list of known bugs on the issues tracker
(will need a little time):
