Kernelnewbies Digest, Vol 142, Issue 6

[Patrick Jattke]

Hi Philipp

Thanks for the great intro on how to write & submit a Linux kernel patch.

I’m very interested in it! I’m busy this week but I will start working on the driver cleanup next week. 

Looking forward to the experience of submitting my first kernel patch!

Best,
Patrick
