I think his trees are wor for integration in linux-next. While the code is way cleaner and won't have the problem you described it will have other issues such as: * No support for shooteru board(you will have to add it yoursel by adding a board file or a device tree file, I don't know the current status of device tree for msm). That may require to get or build a serial cable specially for for your phone. *incomplete drivers support: not all drivers you want/need for your phone are in mainline or in linux/next, however there are some(I didn't look at it extensively, so I can't tell how much, sorry) support for msm8x60. Basically if you go the mainline road expect to have to do some work for integrating the lacking drivers(that comes from your shooteru kernel) and for adding a board file/device tree file for shooteru. But that will get you a cleaner kernel for your device, and kernel experience too. so it might be worth it.
