I plan to send the mfd driver (and also the keyboard/mouse driver) via the corresponding subsystem maintainers, once they are ready. > Once that is done, you can either wait for linux-tegra to reach a > version where the driver coming down from upstream means it is > automatically included, or ask Colin and Erik to cherry-pick in the > driver through linux-next or the maintainer tree. While the driver can go through the relevant subsystems, I wonder how to submit the board files. They are more or less copy-n-paste from the harmony/seaboard files, so should they be reviewed here or on the arm ml (which automaticly chooses the kernel tree). Any suggestion? I also wonder what copyright header would be appropriate as most code came from NVidia/Google. Btw, the results of my attempts to get the device usable can be found on http://gitorious.net/~marvin24/ac100/marvin24s-kernel (based on linux-chomeos-2.6.36). Thanks!
