Hi Andy,

I didn't mean this to be pointed at you. You've been ahead of the
curve in providing feedback on our kernels and I appreciate that. The
fact is that in the past, in general,  we've not always gotten
feedback form LTs on whether our kernel even boots on their boards,
which has been one  of Nico's big frustrations. I wanted to make sure
we do that this time around before releasing. Due to holidays,
vacation, kernel maintainer change, etc, we didn't get a chance to
pull the kernel tree into LAVA for automated testing which would have
helped some here.

Do you have another  LT engineer with access to the HW that could look
into this? Rajendra is on-site at TI doing OMAP5 bring up, I'll ping
Saugata, our other TI engineer to see if he can uncover anything.
