Wysocki" (commit_signer:2/13=15%,authored:1/13=8%) Rob Herring (commit_signer:2/13=15%,authored:2/13=15%) Yinghai Lu (authored:2/13=15%) Libo Chen (authored:2/13=15%) linux-pcmcia@lists.infradead.org (open list:PCMCIA SUBSYSTEM) linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list) So you should post your driver on either linux-pcmcia@lists.infradead.org and linux-can@vger.kernel.org. I've done the EMS PCMCIA CAN driver due to the same reason (I had some of them laying around at work). I would take a look into the PEAK/EMS_PCMCIA driver and especially into the Softing driver from Kurt drivers/net/can/softing. Try to send the patch with 'git send email' with proper "Signed-off-by:" information. See: linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches The patches should be based on linux-can/linux-can-next (on gitorious.org) According the CAN stuff it should be in sync with http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git which is the next step in the upstream process.
