     Please do not merge Intel's and Linaro repositories and send 
patches for what comes of it.
If the Linaro maintainers want to do an upstream merge or if 
contributors of Linaro want to upstream
patches they have authored then great.
Submitting patches based on other peoples work is not agreeable to me. I 
will not take patches that
I even suspect isn't from the original authors, and or without the 
authors consent. Do not just merge code bases
and generate patches based on the diff, and send it to the list. They 
will not be taken.
