Im not quite sure how to proceed with this, Ive refrained from sending to netdev@kernel.org, I guess Id like advice and feedback 1st.
First get feedback from them, if the protocol isn't going to be accepted as-is from them, or with just minor work, then we can take it in the staging tree, but you must list what is needed to be done to get it into mergable state. As for your other questions: - yes, we want original authorship. - we need patches, not a git tree, to apply to the kernel, so however you feel that getting the patches into a state that I can apply them is fine to do. Just note that you can't send out "merged into..." patches as they make no sense :) thanks, greg k-h
