@z3ntu How big is the diff between your downstream code and Linux kernel /aosp upstream code?

@taketwo The code is based on Qualcomm's CodeLinaro code (formerly CAF), so from that there's some diff to AOSP but not exactly sure how much exactly Qualcomm adds on top of AOSP. On top of this CodeLinaro there's not a lot added for the device.

And the same story for the kernel, but at least there compared to Linux upstream there's quite a significant diff, mostly coming from Qualcomm's additions.
