No one has ever said that they shouldn't. Remember, I know _lots_ of kernel developers who started with just "checkpatch cleanups on staging drivers" and they moved on to much "higher" roles in the kernel developer ecosystem (jobs, maintainers of subsystems, keynote talks at conferences, etc.) Don't "po po" it as something that shouldn't be a valid place to start, it is, and is why I do the work to review all of the many thousands of staging patches every release cycle. No one is forcing you to write those patches, or read / review them, so don't discourage others to provide them either please. I most certainly do not. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
