For example, I was looking for UART related dts files, but I really wasn't looking under patches/dma for patches/dma/0034-ARM-dts-Add-UART4-support-to-BeagleBone.patch since it has nothing to do with dma. I've not found uart 1-3 or 5 yet! Converting this stuff to a normal kernel git tree where the history and sequence is obvious and relevant would be a wonderful first step that I think would get more people interested in contributing. Or at least in sending fixes for the things they're interested in. I have been trying to do it on and off, but the loss of the development history makes it difficult to untangle what pieces are needed. I sort of feel like the effort is wasted as long as the tree-of-patches approach continues, the 3.13 branch just rebases all the patches at a different point, minus the history, and I end up back at square one redoing the untangle. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
