ovm6211 linux driver

[Petko Manolov]

	Hi guys,

On request by certain company we've developed a media driver for OmniVision's 
ovm6211 camera sensor.  We just got permission to mainline the code.  How shall 
i proceed?


cheers,
Petko

You found the correct mailinglist, so that's good :-)

This is a good starting page:

https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Developer_section

Check the 'Kernel driver development' - 'Submitting Your Work:' links.

Regards,

Actually, this is a better source (for the media-subsystem-specific stuff):

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/media/maintainer-entry-profile.html

together with this (general kernel development):

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/index.html

Thanks for the pointers.  Perhaps i should have mentioned that i am already 
maintaining several kernel drivers.  This is my first 'media' driver and my 
question was more in the lines of how you guys are doing it, although i did not 
vocalize it explicitly.  I assume the above link will give me the bits i still 
don't know about.

I'll send the v0 patch shortly.


thanks,
Petko

Hi Petko, the Linux kernel documentation has all the information you need:
