Yes, I see this warning too.

However, -rc7 is now out, so I'd recommend moving up to it. (Hint: use git to make it easy to pull the latest version and either 'quilt' or 'stgit' to manage your changes on top of the mainline tree; it will make up/downgrading to different kernel version much easier) > Second question: > > In addition I wanted to ask you about u-boot tree which you have mentioned > in the post on u-boot mailing list.
