About guiding hello world module submission

[Mayur Patil]

Hi Robert,

   I am only done with writing basic device drivers and kernel compilation.

I also know that we can send patches/drivers to

majordomo at vger.kernel.org

But sending sample device drivers to that list will not be good etiquette.

That's why I am asking.
