The only issue is that the branch that is being merged by linux-next is untestable on it's own. But we can ignore the problem until the asoc tree is merged into master, at which point the problem goes away. I plan to send a second pull request to Linus as soon as asoc is in, we shouldn't need to wait for rc1. We made sure the patches that depend on the asoc tree are at the top of the stack for 2.6.39. I do my testing on the last patch that compiles without asoc (which is what got pulled into master today), and rely on the people working with the board that depends on asoc to test the last few patches. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
