The merge window has closed and 2.6.39-rc1 has been released, There are many Pandaboard related changes, including HDMI, DVI and wl21xx support.
As of -rc1: * hdmi & dvi are broken due to some dss clocking issues, see: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/674062/ for details, a fix for dvi is available, see below. * abe sound is not supported. * Dave Anders patch to not configure the unused power regulators of VUSIM and VAUX1 is included. * wl12xx support is working to the extent that one can associate with an access point, get an IP address and ping out to the internet.
As of rc-2 * Neither OMAP nor PandaBoaqrd changes, no other changes to wlan, dvi or hdmi code, so stay tuned for rc-3 in about a week or so. ** looks like lots of interesting changes queued up for the next -rc so stay tuned..
The proper firmware for wl12xx support is available from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/romieu/linux-firmware.git, just clone that repository and copy the ti-connectivity directory to /lib/firmare/.

Building 2.6.39-rc1 is basically the same as How to build 2.6.38 kernel, but of course you need the rc1 sources. The omap2plus_defconfig works, but does not enable anything interesting. config.2.6.39-rc1 enables USB, its' ethernet adapter, and wl12xx support. config.2.6.39-rc1.2 enables USB, it's ethernet adapter, wl12xx support, and dvi support. However using that config requires that the kernel sources be patched with 0001-omap4-pandaboard-fix-dvi-support.patch The patch also provices panda_dvi_defconfig which just enables dvi.
Apply it like so: (from inside the kernel sources directory)
patch -p1 < 0001-omap4-pandaboard-fix-dvi-support.patch
Then use either of the above configs or
make ARCH=arm omap2plus_defconfig or make ARCH=arm panda_dvi_defconfig
Then compile with
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=Path_to_your/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- uImage
After booting run fbtest to see a nice test pattern from the dvi port.
More to come "real soon now"(tm)
