correct source tree to make contributions to Linux thermal framework

correct source tree to make contributions to Linux thermal framework

[Balakrishnan, Anand]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 423 bytes --]

Hello Developers,


At our company, we maintain an internal thermal framework patch. We are exploring the option to up-stream this patch so we don't have to keep porting this from one Kernel version to the other.

Thermal framework code resides here: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/thermal?

What is the correct source tree we should use from https://git.kernel.org/??


Thanks,

Anand

Use the tool, scripts/get_maintainer.pl on your patch and it will
identify the subsystem and mailing list where you need to send your
change to.

If you work off of the linux-next branch, that is a good start as that
contains a sum of all kernel maintainer's tree, as the
Documentation/process/ document explains, and is the easiest to work off
of to start with.

Hope this helps,
