I will be attending ELC. I think I may be the only DT maintainer
attending (the rest were too scared).

For the ARM summit, I can give a summary of what's happened in DT land
since the last ARM summit. There's been some good progress although
probably not as much as anyone would like. Given the last summit, I'm
sure there is more to discuss. If not, I'm available for beers to
celebrate solving all the issues. ;)

A key question to discuss is: are DT binding reviews improving?
Based on the following email: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/22/143, did
you define when the mini-summit is going to happen? I would be able to
make it provided it is not on Monday, Apr. 28th. On a related note, I
believe it would be good to ensure that all relevant maintainers get
substantial Device Tree knowledge best practices, such that DT
maintainers can focus on other tasks and get progressively less
swamped with various bindings to review...
I also think the process for handling stable vs. unstable bindings
needs more discussion. We also need to discuss how to deprecate
existing "stable" bindings in order to have a way to stop new usage of
poorly designed bindings we want to phase out.
