Considering the patches in OMAP4 branch but missing the .35 merge window, I
believe it will impact our master branch a lot. I prefer that we will give up
OMAP4 branch in M+1 if all the OMAP4 patches are in mainline. Now we have OMAP3
in our master as a flavor, but in Lucid ti-omap is a separated branch.

Yeah, that's our plan now.

Sebastien, can you add any input? When will we get .35 based TI OMAP4 tree?

Thanks a lot,
