Greg,

What is the process for getting a patch into 2.6.37.1? I posted this patch last month, hoping it would get into 2.6.37, but I was too late:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/74171/

This patch will make it into 2.6.38. I am hoping it will also go into 2.6.37.1, but I've never submitted a patch for a maintenance release of the kernel.

Without this patch, audio is completely non-functional on the Freescale P1022DS reference board. I have no explanation why I didn't notice earlier that the device tree for the board was wrong.

Please read the file, Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt for how to get a patch into the stable kernel releases.

If you have any further questions after reading that, please let me know.

thanks,
