Hi Paul&Jerome, Thank you very much for your guide. It's a great help for me. But I still have a little problem with the patch thing. I'm not familiar with the git. 1.Shall I need to do the clone and get the source location and target directory first? 2.Where is the source location and target directory? 3.Our driver has pass the customer's test from kernel version 2.6.5 to 3.0.0, So what shall I do to submit a driver cover all these kernel version. 4.or just email you the source code and tell you the changes? I'm looking forward your re-guide. Thank you so much.

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. Thank you so much. > All you need to do is send the kernel patch to > dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > So they can get reviewed.

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.
