[Question] sumbit VIAFB driver

[Question] sumbit VIAFB driver

[JosephChan]

Hi here,

This is Joseph Chan from VIA.
We would like to sumbit VIA's framebuffer device driver into kernel and
I've done the patch file.
But the patch seems too large to send (2 files exceed 2700 lines, other
3 more files exceed 1000 lines), it's appreciated to guide me to
separate those signle file into multiple parts?
Thanks in advance.

BRs,
Joseph Chan

For review, you can split the patch in multiple parts (one for each big
change) and send them separately.

For submission (after integrating the review comments!), you can send it as
one big patch to Andrew Morton, I think. Andrew?

Sure.  Just copy me on the split-up patches and remind me to join them all
together for upstream merging.

Re: [Question] sumbit VIAFB driver

Hi Andrew,

I've tried to split the patch into parts and sent to linux-fbdev-devel.
But I got returned mail, it seems to be my patch was banned by
linux-fbdev-devel.
I'm not sure it is caused by the large splitted patch (1400~1700 lines
per patch).
Would you please tell me how to solve this issue? Thanks.

In addition, may I send you the "BIG" one patch directly?

BRs,
Joseph Chan

I'd suggest that you send the 11 patches and cc
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org instead.  You might as well cc
linux-fbdev-devel as well.  The patches will get lost but at least the
resulting discussion will be archived.

But first please fix your email client!  The patch you just sent was
workwrapped.  Email the patches to yourself first, make sure that they all
apply OK.

Really? I don't see them being stuck in mailman, and I did receive them
through the list.
Can you please forward me the error email by personal email?
