Which git for developing patch?
I am developing a patch for the 8250_pci.c file. Looking at the MAINTAINERS file for 8250 serial, it listed a git repo so I checked that out and figured that was what I should make it from. However, it won't build for me (openssl/bio.h is missing) after a cloning. Am I supposed to use the git repo shown in the MAINTAINERS file (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git) or some different one for making a patch for a serial file? Thank you.

Installing something like libssl-dev or openssl-devel, depending on your distro, might fix that. -- Jim
