You must know that. Shoot an email off to linus at linux.com Ruben, you are totally wrong, this is not an "acedemic" area, and that's a made up linux.com email address. This is the exact type of question that this mailing list is for. Please stop. greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Yes, it should be made against that tree as that is the merge of all of the development trees together. For more specifics about linux-next and how the patches flow between that and Linus's releases, please see the great documentation in the Linux kernel source tree at Documentation/development_process/ Hope this helps, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

It means if I've knowledge of a device/board (without owning it) then I can write and submit patch if it builds correctly.
