New revision of the power sequences, taking as usual the feedback that
was
kindly provided about the last version.

I think now is a good time to discuss integrating this and to start
looking for a maintainer who would be willing to merge this into
his/her tree (I am especially thinking about the power framework
maintainers, since this is where the code is right now.

The other alternative is for you to maintain this going forward; I
believe that would be as simple as:

* Create a patch to add yourself to MAINTAINERS for the
drivers/power/power_seq/ directory.

* Get a kernel.org account, push this patch to a branch there, and add
the branch into linux-next.

* Send a pull request to Linus at the appropriate time.

* Ongoing: Accept any patches, perform any maintenance required, etc.

Does anyone see any issue with Alexandre doing this? Nobody else has
volunteered yet:-)

Yup, looks like the best way.

I am fine this way too - it will just take some time for me to get ready as I 
will need to get my GPG key signed by some kernel developers first (that's what 
I forgot to do during the last LinuxCon!). I know a few here so it should not 
be too hard to get them drunk and sign my key, but I don't expect to be ready 
for the 3.7 merge window. Would anybody be concerned by this delay? By the 
meantime I can also make a branch available somewhere.

Alex.
