I'd like to stage the driver first, so that more people can look at it and to get feedback before moving to the "real" part of the kernel tree. A similar example that I've referred was "drivers/staging/altera-stapl", which had been staged, then later moved to the final place "drivers/misc/altera-stapl" It does the same function as my module for the different company's FPGA. > thanks, > > greg k-h Thank you, ISS _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
