Hi list,
This is an attempt to get a feeling of sending a first patch. Please feel free to comment.
I have few questions:
- I have build this patch against the torvalds/linux.git. Does it matter which tree I use as long as it works on the maintainer tree?
- In this particular case I checked the maintainer. It seems that its tree is something of 11 years old.
I suggest working on drivers/staging/ first for basic coding style fixes like this, as they are encouraged there, but not necessarily in other parts of the kerenel at all. Good luck! greg k-h
