Hi,
I've started to take a look at TODO entries in the staging drivers subtree and found some issues in pi433 I'd like to work on. Before starting to prepare my patch, I tried to check the LKML and the bug tracker to make sure nobody was working on the same issues as me (this driver seems to be pretty actively developed), but couldn't find anything helpful. No mailing list, nobody coordinating, only single patches without relationship.
Did I miss something ? Is there a specific place where I can coordinate with the rest of the kernel dev community and make people aware I'm working on this particular issue ? (apart from the bug tracker, which doesn't seem to be very active when it comes to the staging subtree)
No need to coordinate anything, just start sending patches against the latest development tree (linux-next, or the staging.git staging-next branch), and all will be fine. If there are conflicts, the maintainer will let you know, but they are usually quite rare. good luck! greg k-h
