correct source tree to make contributions to Linux thermal framework
Hello Developers, At our company, we maintain an internal thermal framework patch. We are exploring the option to up-stream this patch so we don't have to keep porting this from one Kernel version to the other. Thermal framework code resides here: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/thermal? What is the correct source tree we should use from https://git.kernel.org/?? Thanks, Anand

Use the tool, scripts/get_maintainer.pl on your patch and it will identify the subsystem and mailing list where you need to send your change to. If you work off of the linux-next branch, that is a good start as that contains a sum of all kernel maintainer's tree, as the Documentation/process/ document explains, and is the easiest to work off of to start with. Hope this helps, greg k-h
