Hi,
I’m from Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS:SIMO) Shanghai Office. We have developed a kernel driver for all our graphics chips. We really want to know the way to submit a kernel driver to kernel.org. I have received a document file which is on http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingDrivers, but I still cannot find out a place to where our drivers should be uploaded. The document say “please submit it to the maintainer listed in MAINTAINERS in the kernel file.”So where can I find the maintainer and what to do next. Would you please help me. Thank you so much.
Regards Aaron
All you need to do is send the kernel patch to dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
So they can get reviewed. Once they are reviewed, and if they comply with the requirement, the DRM maintainer (aka Dave) will integrate your patch in his tree and at some point ask Linus to pull them.
There is no ftp, or http web submission, everything is done through public mailing list.
Cheers, Jerome
