He will also be giving his guidance in the code. And we both will be the Maintainer of the code. I will send you the patch to revert your commit after i have received the board from Teddy Wang and I have done my initial testing. Just have a few questions, and I hope you can help me with them :- 1) do i need to have git server somewhere to send you pull request or i send you patches? 2) the tree on which i will be working that will be based on which tree : linux-next, staging-next or staging-testing? I hope you will not mind if I ask for your suggestions whenever i get a doubt (which I will get many), after all i am still a newbie here. thanks sudip > > > > > greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
