Hi,

Thanks for clarifying. I am quite blue to git/kernel/versioning and in
my optimism I underestimated the complexity of versioning and patching.
I guess therefore I did not understand the answer of Wolfgang totally. 

Do I understand correct that: Xenomai support for iMX35 depends fully on
the developers of Freescale to put their patches into the mainline
kernel? 

Is there a way to be involved/contribute on that?

Thanks,
Marten
