I have written a uledtriggers driver -- a userspace LED triggers driver -- similar in concept to uleds but for LED triggers. I currently have it as an out-of-tree driver, targeting kernel v6.8:

I am interested to contribute it to the mainline kernel. I have done drivers in the kernel tree before, within a company, so I know how to do the Kconfig and Makefile etc. But I don't know how to do the processes of liaising with the appropriate kernel maintainers to do a driver contribution. I know linux-leds mailing list exists.
It's the same as for any other kernel change, make a patch, run it through 'scripts/get_maintainer.pl' to determine where to send it to, and then send it to them :) The kernel has loads of documentation on how to submit a patch, I recommend reading that and if you have specific questions afterward, please ask. hope this helps, greg k-h
