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

Hi,
you can follow the description on this homepage: https://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch <https://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch> I learned from this document.
That has some issues because it is not updated in all points but it works. I cannot update because I do not have the permission.
Here the hints I wand to give you:
Do not use: apt-get install python-ply python-git Use: apt-get install python3-ply python3-git
When you use gmail with mutt: - activate dual factor authentication - use "app password" for mutt That is working fine.
I also like to recommend the following youtube videos: "Write and Submit your first Linux kernel Patch" by Greg Kroah-Hartman - 12 years old but still very valid.
Best entertainment about things went wrong with patches: LCA13: Keynote Greg Kroah-Hartman "I don't want your code"
Bye Philipp
