The first five branches are scheduled to go through the arm-soc tree, so I'm fine with that. For the sound/for-3.7 branch, I'd like to know when to expect that hitting mainline. If it always gets in very early during the merge window, it's probably ok to put the imx/multi-platform patches into the same branch as the other ones in arm-soc and wait for the sound stuff to hit mainline first, otherwise I'd suggest we start a second next/multiplatform-2 branch for imx and send the first part early on but then wait with the second batch before sound gets in.
It seems that we will have to go with next/multiplatform-2. I just tried to merge the series with linux-next together, and got some non-trivial conflicts with media and mtd tree. I might have to rebase my series on top of these trees to sort out those conflicts. That said, I will have several dependencies outside arm-soc tree, and have to pend my series until all those trees get merged into mainline.
Ok, fair enough. I think we can put it in arm-soc/for-next as a staging branch anyway to give it some exposure to linux-next, and then we can decide whether a rebase is necessary before sending it to Linus.
