Hi Guenter,

Thanks for following up. One of the members of the openrisc team was able 
to get his key signed recently [0].  But, it puts me at 4 levels from 
Linus, which may not be good enough for accepting pull requests. At the 
same time, I am working with one Japan kernel developer to get my key 
signed, but there was a minor issue when we met. I hope that can get 
resolved this friday when I meet again at Japan Technical Jamboree [1].

You might not be interested in all of that. I will do the following:

   1 Create for-next branch on the github openrisc/linux with my current
     patch set
   2 Send a mail to Stephen Rothwell for including in linux next
   3 When the merge window opens either the other OpenRISC maintainer or I
     will create a signed tag and send a pull reuest to linus.

If those done work we will ask you for help.

Thanks for your help,

-Stafford
