I feel blamed wrongly here. My part of the "crazy churn" in
v2.6.38..$todayslinus/master is that I touched drivers/net/Kconfig[1] and
arch/arm/mach-mxs/gpio.c[2]. The former went in via the net tree; the
latter via Russell's tree with Sascha's Ack. Please correct me if I'm
wrong but I think this was the correct thing to do. I don't know how
that qualifies as "completely independent of everyone else".

IMHO the cooperation between Sascha and me works fine. In fact nearly
all[3] of my patches that touch imx related things under arch/arm/ go in
via Sascha's tree.

Best regards
Uwe

[1] 085e79e (net/fec: consolidate all i.MX options to CONFIG_ARM)
[2] bf0c111 (ARM: 6744/1: mxs: irq_data conversion)
[3] Some exceptions I found are:
	bf0c111 ARM: 6744/1: mxs: irq_data conversion
	4df772d ARM: 6322/1: imx/pca100: Fix name of spi platform data
	868003c ARM: 6280/1: imx: Fix build failure when including <mach/gpio.h> without <linux/spinlock.h>
    All of these are OK IMHO.
