The merge window has closed and 2.6.39-rc1 has been released, There are many Pandaboard related changes, including HDMI and wl21xx support.

As of -rc1:
* hdmi is broken due to some dss clocking issues, see: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/674062/ for details, a fix might be available before -rc2.
* abe sound is not supported.
* Dave Anders patch to not configure the unused power regulators of VUSIM and VAUX1 is included.
* wl12xx support is working to the extent that one can associate with an access point, get an IP address and ping out to the internet.

The proper firmware for wl12xx support is available from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/romieu/linux-firmware.git, just clone that repository and copy the ti-connectivity directory to /lib/firmare/.
