Again, many thanks for this!
While this are quite good news, hopefully TI doesn't take this as a
"things work well without TI, we don't need to do anything". IMHO

The pre-merge tree is tagged as 'pre-2.6.24-merge', if you want to
stay with a pre-2.6.24 tree, you can checkout your own development
branch at this tag: 'git checkout -b my-dev-branch pre-2.6.24-merge'.

Known problems (but I'm sure there are others)
I will look into some of them in the next days. At least NAND and
maybe I2C and Network/NFS.
Note that this doesn't exclude that any help is really appreciated! In
some discussions the last days we stressed the word _community_. Hint,
hint ... ;)
- i2c
- I added the zero-byte hack (as done in OMAP driver), but still
doesn't seem to work
Any hint what's the best/easiest test case for this?
- EMAC driver cannot get MAC using i2c
- workaround: pass eth=<MAC addr> on kerne cmd line
- no audio (since aic33 is via i2c)
- needs to be disabled in .config
- IDE
- seems to hang
- there is a new version of this driver which (I believe) has been
submitted to linux-ide. This should be merged soon.
- NAND
- board-evm code doesn't compile due to missing nand_platform_data
- Video
- V4L2 changes will require a rework of the video drivers
- Audio
- crashes in i2c accesses if enabled
- only has untested/deprecated OSS driver
- Network / NFS
- does not fully boot my NFS root filesystem. It stops part way
through and thinks the NFS server went away.
- There were some NAPI related compile fixes after 2.6.24 (Thanks Dirk)
that may require investigation/debug.
