Hi Pawel,


The branch contents looks good, but I wonder if you would mind splitting it up
across the same kind of topics that we tend to organize arm-soc in?

Suggestions below.

The above would go in a drivers branch

I would suggest taking the two DT patches (#1 and #3 in the list) and splitting
them off in a dt branch, and the rest in a boards or soc branch.

So, total of three branches:

drivers
dt
soc

If these are the only vexpress patches you expect at all for 3.8, we can
just take it as it is in one more broad branch. But since we're early in
the cycle I'm guessing you might end up having more patches coming in,
so starting to sort them in topics is a good idea.


Thanks!
