Basically a patchset that adds support for the base platform and all
necessary drivers.  Send that to the respective mailing lists and
maintainers (see MAINTAINERS file) and wait for the feedback.  Expect to
polish your patchset a few times until everybody is happy.  That's the
basic receipe.  See also Documentation/SubmittingPatches,
Documentation/SubmittingDrivers and Documentation/SubmitChecklist.
