HI, 
I wanted to know what is the process for adding a new source(say driver) to the kernel tree.I am not asking for how to add a driver ( like modifying make file, Kconfig, adding driver to staging or my_driver folder) but the process for adding it to the source tree Like : 
- which branch to add
-Any format of the files or directory
- whom to mail(maintainer,developer,tester,etc)
- Do I have to upload any test results
- Do I have to build it for any minimum number of platforms
- Do I need to send mail to the maintainer of that subsystem or fraemwork?
- Any tool to run the coding conventions checks,bugs checks,Memory leak checks,etc
Kindly let me know.
Thanks and Rgds,
Rp
