Re: New MIPS SoC code insertion request

Hi Dmitry,

Thank-you very much for reaching out to the mailing list.

The Linux kernel follows a structure for patch submissions.

There’s a tutorial on github with a pdf and readmes.

https://github.com/gregkh/kernel-tutorial

Tutorial Videos on YouTube by GregKH are also very useful.

These will give an overview of the entire process.

It would be nice if you could push your current working kernel
somewhere on a git server where we could see the patches
and then provide guidance accordingly.

If you don't have a public-facing git server. You could just
push the code to a repository on github and share the link.

Regards,
ZubairLK
