Need Clarification about Whether i can change some Specific Staging Code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Greg,

I was checking drivers code to see which are still using semaphore. I found some in staging. When i opened the code for upgrading that to MUTEX i found a note. that says:

 *    NOTE TO LINUX KERNEL HACKERS:  DO NOT REFORMAT THIS CODE!
 *
 *    This is shared code between Digi's CVS archive and the
 *    Linux Kernel sources.
 *    Changing the source just for reformatting needlessly breaks
 *    our CVS diff history.
 *
 *    Send any bug fixes/changes to:  Eng.Linux at digi dot com.
 *    Thank you.
 */

Involved codes are
./drivers/staging/dgap/dgap_tty.c
 ./drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_tty.c

Please let me know if i can submit a patch against these files.

Regards
Kumar Gaurav
