Hello,
I was going through kernel source and found out that I can work on staging area for fixes.
I have generated a patch for coding style fixes.
I have few questions about how do submit my patch and to whom.
1) Is it ok if I send it directly to Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, who seems to be signing off all the patches in that directory as per git log.
2) What is the standard procedure to submit my patch after I have verified it. Whom do I send it? How do I get it review? How to get it merged in mainline?
Also, I am attaching my patch here.
Any suggestions on patch and answer to my queries will be great help.
Thanks,
Sunil.
