Meeting Agenda]]


=== ARM Status  ===
  R/master: found a fix for lp1168039 ("highbank: network corruption") and
  lp1166956 ("[highbank] Oops: PC is at pl330_irq_handler+0x21c/0x3b0 
[pl330]"),
  still working on the reboot issue on highbank (but i tracked it down 
to a pl310
  errata).
  R/nexus4: sent a config diff that made our nexus4 kernel work with the 
phablet
  image.
  ppisati, will the highbank fixes make it today ?
  rtg: nope, i wanted to send them all together when i've fixed the 
reboot issue too
  tomorrow is last upload before release
