List-Id: Linux on Embedded PowerPC Developers Mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , I am just polishing off bringup a Xilinx Virtex IV/ppc405 system with minimal hardware under 2.6.14.4. I have a collection of patches that I can submit for the specific, board, for the Virtex IV, for board specific hardware, ... Additionally I have 2 complete boot loader through full serial driver implementations of a pseudo serial console driver for this board when it is in a HOST development system - it is a compact flash card normally plugged into a PC during development and using the PC as the console, and a complete serial driver chain for the Xilinx UartLite as a console when not in a Host, or as a general serial driver. The Xilinx Driver is based heavily on other 2.6 driver/serial drivers and not the 2.4 implementation from Xilinx. Is this list the right place to submit this ? Is there a HOWTO addressing the rules/procedures to do so. I have not looked at the kernel style guides, but the style of this code is pretty much identical to other Kernel code. The UartLite driver is virtually indistinguishable from other driver/serial drivers except the few places where hardware differences require changes, and that there is a full tree of end-end support similar to what exists for the 8250's.
