You should take a look into the "series" file, then you will see, what patches are stable patches and what patches are (still) relevant for the Mini2440. > Also are these patches getting merged into mainline? No. These are platform patches, and they become obsolete when the ARM architecture is fully switched to device tree description. I think in one or two kernel releases I can remove them entirely. Until then they are still needed. Regards, Juergen -- Pengutronix e.K. | Juergen Beisert | Linux Solutions for Science and Industry | http://www.pengutronix.de/ |
