* A question about staging driver like pi433 @ 2021-08-09 16:13 Sidong Yang 2021-08-09 18:20 ` Greg KH 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Sidong Yang @ 2021-08-09 16:13 UTC (permalink / raw) To: kernelnewbies Hi all, I have a question about staging driver. I'm a newbie kernel developer and I tried contributed some patches for staging drivers. In those staging drivers, I'm interested in pi433 and wrote some patches for it about 2 years ago. and then I tried to go deeper for that. I tried to buy pi433 device but I can't. It seems that no longer available. In this case, pi433 should be removed from source tree? If not, It's okay to send patches for it? Thanks, Sidong _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

That's kind of hard to determine, and is a problem we have at times :( thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

And He replied positive. I would get the pi433 device soon. It would be nice that It can be tested in practice.
