Hi Greg K-H, I have spoken to Teddy Wang of Silicon Motion and he has agreed to give me a SM712 board. He will also be giving his guidance in the code. And we both will be the Maintainer of the code. I will send you the patch to revert your commit after i have received the board from Teddy Wang and I have done my initial testing. Just have a few questions, and I hope you can help me with them :- 1) do i need to have git server somewhere to send you pull request or i send you patches? 2) the tree on which i will be working that will be based on which tree : linux-next, staging-next or staging-testing? I hope you will not mind if I ask for your suggestions whenever i get a doubt (which I will get many), after all i am still a newbie here. thanks sudip > > > > > greg k-h -- 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/
