Form previous posts I'm assuming patches for the serial driver (drivers/serial/8250.c) should not go to this list but the serial maintainer. Is this correct? Yes - however a cc to the linux-mips list can't harm in case there are any issues raised. > 3. Same question for USB driver (mostly drivers/usb/host and gadget), should I send to a usb maintainer? Dito. Ralf
