How much do you encourage moving to 2.6.38? How well is different i.MX boards supported and tested, compared to 2.6.35.3?

For Example ::

user@ubuntu:~/imx53/11.09.01/ltib$ cat ltib-fix-rpm-flag.patch
user@ubuntu:~/imx53/11.09.01/ltib$ patch -p 0 < ltib-fix-rpm-flag.patch

Open the patch file, you will find all the modifications, relative to patching of files.
