Project List
List of items that need to be mainlined, or are "in flight" (as of June, 2014):


 * regulators - Josh Cartwright?, Bjorn Andersson?
 * clocks - Stephen Boyd
 * RPM
 * SD Card Controller - Srinivas Kandagatla
 * 8084 clock controller - Georgi Djakov
 * dma engine - Andy Gross
 * SOC-specific
 * 8084
 * 8974
 * SOC DT file? - Kumar Gala?
 * USB support
 * USB host mode for HS port - Tim Bird
 * dwc3 (superspeed) USB driver
 * spmi - ??

Project Table
This might be too time-consuming to maintain?

git trees

 * git trees:
 * Sony github integration ("next") tree: https://github.com/andersson/kernel/tree/next
 * Sony maintains this tree by keeping patch sets for individual technology areas or features in separate git branches. We have an internal tool called 'splash', that is used to integrate the separate branches into a single integration branch (the "next" branch).  This tool is available upon request, if you want to use the same workflow as Sony.
 * Code Aurora git trees: https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/kernel
 * Linaro Qualcomm integration tree: https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/qualcomm/kernel.git/shortlog/refs/heads/integration-linux-qcomlt

Other resources

 * Linaro patch queue for msm (??): https://patches.linaro.org/project/linux-arm-msm/
 * Linaro mainline patch queue: https://patches.linaro.org/team/linaro-landing-team-qualcomm/

Stakeholders
This is a list of parties who are (or should be) interested in the progress of this work:
 * Qualcomm
 * Code Aurora Forum
 * Linaro
 * Qualcomm Innovation Center
 * Sony
 * Samsung
 * LG
 * HTC
 * Motorola

Status
[Figure out a metric for what remains to be done]
 * brainstorming ideas for metric to measure:
 * # of features out of tree (should be going down)
 * size of diff between latest msm tree and server it was based on? (should be going down)
 * linaro uses patch queue length (outstanding vs. already mainlined)
