It seems that omap upstream merges are somewhat slow going, why > is that? Ideally patches should get merged to linux-omap within few days and in more intrusive cases within few weeks. But sometimes patches pile up, and now we have some patches pending mostly because I was travelling for three weeks. I will be applying patches starting today, so hopefully we'll have the pending patches cleared up within next few days. Regarding merging core omap stuff to mainline kernel, we still need to clean up few things to get arch/arm/*omap directories in sync with mainline. After currently pending patches arch/arm/mach-omap1 and plat-omap will be within one or two more main releases away from being in sync, and mach-omap2 will take a bit longer. So hopefully we'll be in sync with mainline for core omap stuff during this year. Regarding merging various drivers upstream, they need to go through various driver mailing lists or LKML. So ideally the person who has done the patch will also send it for merging to the right mailing list. Otherwise the driver patch will most likely just stay in linux-omap tree.
