Hi Russell,

Commit ee3c454b `arm: msm: add oprofile pmu support' in your devel
branch adds an IRQ to the static list in kernel/pmu.c. Patch 6064/1 in
the patch system replaces this old functionality with runtime registration
using a platform device, so this commit prevents that patch applying.
The OProfile patches in the system also depend on the runtime registration
patch, so they will become blocked too.

I can update the patch in the patch system so it applies cleanly, but
the mach-msm bsp will need updating to register the IRQ using the new
mechanism. Daniel: would you like me to submit a patch to do this, or
would you rather do it [since I'm unfamiliar with the mach]?

Cheers,

Will
