Hi Arnd,
I have two little patches about Kconfig and one defconfig that are
suitable for a 3.1 inclusion.
I wonder if you plan a pull request to Linus before 3.1-final?
If yes, would you prefer each patch in a feature branch on its own
(at91-kconfig, at91-defconfig for instance) or a generic at91-fixes?
Thanks, best regards,

If you have updates that should go into the current release, they should
be bug fixes of some sort, so a single "fixes" branch is good for those.
Just send a pull request so I can add them to the common fixes branch
in the arm-soc tree. I generally send everything in there to Linus when
there is a significant amount of it, or when significant time has passed
since I sent the previous pull request or when there is something urgent
in the tree.

still appropriate for 3.1. Remember that when you send bug fixes I
want to have a short statement how important the patches are, roughly
listing them as one of
1. regression: it's broken in this version without the fix, and the
previous release was ok.
2. stable backport: the problem has been around for some time and
the bug fix should be applied to all older kernels as well.
(add a line "Cc: stable@kernel.org" below your Signed-off-by
in that case)
3. bug in new code: some new feature was merged in this window
and a bug was found in it.
4. minor bug fix: can wait for the next merge window, e.g. incorrect
debug output or nonoptimial defconfigs.
