Hi,

Arnd & Olof, some urgent changes are needed, see below.

Yes looks like there's an issue with getting urgent patches applied into
the arm-soc tree.. The patches to fix these issues are known and
other issues and warnings should be all sorted out now except for some
MMC changes that are still being discussed.

What I got queued up in fixes-non-critical-part2 should fix all those
errors and warnings.

Arnd & Olof, I've posted one fix that should be applied to arm-soc tree
at [1]. I've also posted a request to revert one commit in arm-soc tree
at [2].

As it seems that you did not apply those to arm-soc, please apply them,
or repull the following two branches ASAP:

Re-pull fixes-non-critical containing one revert:

Revert "ARM: OMAP2+: Fix multiple randconfig errors with SOC_OMAP and SOC_OMAP_NOOP"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap fixes-non-critical

Re-pull cleanup again containing one fix:

ARM: OMAP2+: Fix L4_EMU_34XX_BASE error after iomap changes

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap cleanup

Note that the second one I just pushed, however the patch is known to
work for the build errors after merging arm-soc with Russell's changes.

Arnd & Olof, for future, how you want to handle urgent issues like this?

Regards,

Tony
