Not all, I also have a part in my local tree (posted in my last batch):

arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/gpio.c         |   30 ++++++++++++++++++---------
arch/cris/arch-v10/drivers/i2c.c          |   24 ++++++++++++++++-----

arch/cris/arch-v32/drivers/sync_serial.c  |   30 +++++++++++++++++++--------

I did not include it in the pull request because I hadn't yet the occasion
to build-test it.

I'll do that and try to get this in the cris tree.

Same problem here: I need to built test it before pushing for good.

Yeah, I guess it's too late to integrate the big v4l pushdown
for this merge window.
I'll ping Mauro once -rc1 is released.

But I won't wait for the driver to be removed though, so I'll
fix the naming issue and queue it soon.

At least it's there:

Yeah.

I keep this close for 2.6.36

Thanks.
