Thanks you all for your valuable comments. The patches would be staggered through the month and would not be a single series file at the end of the month. The patches would be for each driver component (e.g. EDMA, GPIO, NAND ...)
Based on Theo's suggestion, I will have a wiki page on the DaVinci wiki, tracking these patches, plan, GIT information, and compiler and filesystem versions. The specific questions on NAND, power management (will be added to the last list, for now) will be addressed as one us starts working on these components.

Thanks for sharing your roadmap, BTW.
