Hi Robert,

I am only done with writing basic device drivers and kernel compilation.
I also know that we can send patches/drivers to
But sending sample device drivers to that list will not be good etiquette.
That's why I am asking.

once upon a time, i wrote an (admittedly-dated) online course on how
to get started with kernel programming (and, yes, it needs updating
:-P):
http://crashcourse.ca/introduction-linux-kernel-programming/introduction-linux-kernel-programming
ignore the $39 reference, the course has been publicly available for
free for a while.
on the second point -- how to *send* that driver to the kernel --
don't you kind of need a rationale for why you're working on a driver
that isn't in the kernel already? i suspect that if you're already
competent enough to be writing a driver for something that isn't in
the kernel, you probably already know the protocol for submitting it,
no?
