I suggest you might move one year to patchwork (ie: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/list/) and adapt that as necessary, but whatever works for you. btw: patc...@arm.linux.org.uk is not documented at all in the kernel sources. You could fix that if you want other people to know what you do. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
