+2.4.1: STAGING TREES
+
+The kernel source tree now contains the drivers/staging/ directory, where
+many sub-directories for drivers or filesystems that are on their way to
+being added to the kernel tree live. They remain in drivers/staging while
+they still need more work; once complete, they can be moved into the
+kernel proper. This is a way to keep track of drivers that aren't
+up to Linux kernel coding or quality standards, but people may want to use
+them and track development.
+
+Greg Kroah-Hartman currently (as of 2.6.36) maintains the staging tree.
+Drivers that still need work are sent to him, with each driver having
+its own subdirectory in drivers/staging/. Along with the driver source
+files, a TODO file should be present in the directory as well. The TODO
+file lists the pending work that the driver needs for acceptance into
+the kernel proper, as well as a list of people that should be Cc'd for any
+patches to the driver. Staging drivers that don't currently build should
+have their config entries depend upon CONFIG_BROKEN. Once they can
+be successfully built without outside patches, CONFIG_BROKEN can be removed.

-Clock framework on SuperH architecture

-The framework on SH extends existing API by the function clk_set_rate_ex,
-which prototype is as follows:
-
- clk_set_rate_ex (struct clk *clk, unsigned long rate, int algo_id)
-
-The algo_id parameter is used to specify algorithm used to recalculate clocks,
-adjanced to clock, specified as first argument. It is assumed that algo_id==0
-means no changes to adjanced clock
-
-Internally, the clk_set_rate_ex forwards request to clk->ops->set_rate method,
-if it is present in ops structure. The method should set the clock rate and adjust
-all needed clocks according to the passed algo_id.
-Exact values for algo_id are machine-dependent. For the sh7722, the following
-values are defined:
-
- NO_CHANGE = 0,
- IUS_N1_N1, /* I:U = N:1, U:Sh = N:1 */
