pushing other commits upstream
Hi, I would like to push patches from somebody else upstream. I'm talking of commits of the TI's beagleboard repo [1]. What do I need to take care of?

Well, basically apply the patch from beagleboard repo into your repo. This will keep the patch author and Signed-off-by line. Then, add your Signed-off-by line and don't forget to Cc the original author. Good luck. :)

try to contact the author of those patches and ask if they can go upstream. Sometimes downstream patches are hacky and not intended for mainline. Stefan
