Be warned, I have no experience with mainlining patches, even not with kernel programming at all. Therefore I need someone holding my hand. Does anybody volunteer? I had a look to the branch Nikolaus pointed out. Here are some questions about the patches in the branch: - It seams to me the branch doesn't support any longer to compile the driver directly into the kernel. Am I correct? - There are three patches from Andreas and Nikolaus in the beginning of the branch. Are this patched needed to be mainlined too? - Two of my patches are super seeded by the patches from Grond. My guess it that the patches needs to be squashed together? - Where should I send the patches? The current audience might be a little bit large? Regards Stefan
