Based on the following email: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/22/143, did
you define when the mini-summit is going to happen? I would be able to
make it provided it is not on Monday, Apr. 28th. On a related note, I
believe it would be good to ensure that all relevant maintainers get
substantial Device Tree knowledge best practices, such that DT
maintainers can focus on other tasks and get progressively less
swamped with various bindings to review...
