We have developed a kernel driver for all our graphics chips. We really want to know the way to submit a kernel driver to kernel.org. I have received a document file which is on http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingDrivers, but I still cannot find out a place to where our drivers should be uploaded. The document say “please submit it to the maintainer listed in MAINTAINERS in the kernel file.”So where can I find the maintainer and what to do next. Would you please help me.

Replace the 15 by the number of commits you need patches for. You can take a look in the archive. drm/exynos and drm/omap are good examples – I think – on how to get new drivers submitted. Thanks, Paul PS: Please also try to follow the netiquette when posting to lists [1]. Especially just send plain text messages (no HTML). [1] http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette
