Recent fixes:

[#2240]  Call unbind() hook of the usb gadget so that it can properly
release its resources
Timo Juhani Lindfors <timo.lindfors at iki.fi>

[#2255] Make xglamo workaround opt-out
There is a workaround for xglamo in the drivers/mfd/glamo/glamo-fb.c
file. It is useful now but it causes problem for those who are using
Xorg.  Now It can be disabled at compile time
(CONFIG_MFD_GLAMO_FB_XGLAMO_WORKAROUND) or at run time with "echo 0 >
/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-regltr.9/glamo3362.0/glamo-fb.0/xglamo_hack".

GTA01 battery:

It was pointed out by Angus that the new streamlined driver for the
GTA01 battery does not include attributes expected by some programs.
Right now the following are available:
POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT,POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS,POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW,
POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW.
PRESENT is always 1 for the GTA01 (added today).
The driver: http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=blob;f=drivers/power/gta01_battery.c;hb=andy-tracking

Usb0 --> eth<n> change:
This message by Mike (mwester) explains why some hosts are seeing
eth<n> instead of usb0.

usb0 interface on the phone not activated:
This was a small issue in recent OM unstable/experimental
distributions. It has been promptly fixed.

Outstanding bug #1:
http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2257
Kernel regression: white screen of death reappeared with 2.6.29
This regression happens with u-boot and not with Qi. It has been
pointed out by IRC:lindi- that suspend and resume brings the display
back to an usable state.

Outstanding bug #2:
http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2257
gsm0710muxd: "Modem does not respond to AT commands"
More testing is required for this bug. Somebody else affected by it?

U-boot enhancement: Update for reading inodes on ext2fs revision 1
