But first of all, I read the todo list and worked on the point to get rid of the 'old-fashioned' way to access the driver_data field direct and replaced them with the proper dev_get/set_drvdata or pci_get/set_drvdata. I created the patch like mentioned in the patchsubmitting-howto of the source documentation, and have tested it. What are now the further steps, just sending the patch as attachement to this list? Another question is, which original source code version should be taken..2.6.6 (as I did) or the most actual from the cvs tree? Very many thanks in advance for helping me making the first steps ;) greets ys PS. As I have seen while working on my patch, tty->driver_data should also not accessed directly, and for the consistency tty_get_drvdata and tty_set_drvdata should be added too and called instead of the direct access. Is this the right list to discuss this matter? Or is it in work? --===============50228978098070542== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Kernel-janitors mailing list Kernel-janitors@lists.osdl.org http://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel-janitors --===============50228978098070542==--
