Hello,
I'm trying to integrate backports(20150525) to target Kernel 3.1.10.
Followed the instructions available in the backports wiki for kernel
integration procedure. Nice! documentation.
Used linux-next.git, backports.git with next-20150525 and
backports-20150525 tags respectively.
The target Linux kernel version is based on NVIDIA's L4T and it was not
a clean 3.1 baseline but
rather some pre 3.2 version with further Android additions.
My aim is to backport the iwlwifi drivers on 3.1.10 kernel.
Backporting 20150525 on 3.1.10 using gentree.py was not successful:
# ./gentree.py --integrate --clean --gitdebug --git-revision

Am i missing some thing or doing some thing wrong!.
Can some one provide few pointers for fixing the issues and few pointers
on backporting kernel integration
on non standard kernel trees, like the one which i am working on.
Best regards,
Bhuvan

I think the documentation is not so good. ;-)
If you just want to compile the drivers against your kernel the easiest
way is to download the tar from here:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2015/05/25/backports-20150525.tar.xz
You can compile it against your kernel like any other external kernel
module.
The git repository is only needed if you want to generate your own tar
with the drivers form your kernel.

Agreed, but I'm using it for integrating the backport drivers with kernel instead of using them as kernel modules.
Followed as per the instructions here: https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Documentation/integration
Using the backport-20150525 tar, compilation fails:

Thanks!
Compiled the iwlwifi drivers successfully with backports-3.11.8 with some small
change: KERNEL_VERSION(3,2,0) to KERNEL_VERSION(3,1,0) in backports-incluse/linux/export.h, found this fix in mailing list.
Tried with the later backport versions, but couldn't compile the drivers successfully for 3.1.10 kernel.
