Well patches always welcomed. Please post the patches to the list. Just use diff -uprN a/ b/ where a/ and b/ are two trees of sources. (The diff should be done using the latest kernel -mm) Indicate that the mail contains a patch with [PATCH] subject line. You may include the patch into text attachment. The message body will just contain a description of the patch and Signed-Off-By line if it is for kernel patch. You may also read http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=3Dlinux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.17.y.git;a= =3Dblob;h=C2c85bcb3d438b983ccc1535acbbd185867e26c3;hbRcbb7b78994ea3799f1bbb= 8c03bce1e2f72a271;f=3DDocumentation/SubmittingPatches and http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=3Dlinux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.17.y.git;a= =3Dblob;h=CE5d2c038cf54603d76c32b25e563456ebcf6711;hbRcbb7b78994ea3799f1bbb= 8c03bce1e2f72a271;f=3DDocumentation/CodingStyle The SubmittingPatches document is explaining the procedure of submitting pa= tches to kernel. If you follow the rules and just use the lm-sensors mailing list= all will be fine. (I described the rules briefly above) I hope it is more clear now. If you have more questions ask please.
